Love Is Selfish Songtext
von Jack White

One, two, three, four

Love is such a selfish thing
It′s always crying, "Me, me, me"
And it's always trying to mess up all my plans

And I work real hard to make you understand
Yeah, I try my best to help you understand

I′ve been tryin' over the years
To try and overcome these fears
But nothing I come up with proves I can

And I work real hard to make you understand
Yeah, I try my best to help you understand


I'm on a train, but I can not rest upon it
I′m on a train, but it won′t stay on the rails
And I've got a sailboat with her name painted on it
But I don′t know how to sail

Someone smarter than me and you
Might end up solving a clue or two
But could they make it happen with their hands?

And they build it up from nothing with their hands
I could lose my mind just tryin' to understand

Love is such a selfish thing
It′s always crying, "Me, me, me"
And it's always trying to mess up all my plans

And I work real hard to make you understand
And I try my best to help you understand
