Jack White Love Is Selfish

AlphabetLyrics.com

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 trying 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?
Can they build it up from nothing with their hands?
I could lose my mind just trying 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'll try my best to help you understand.
