Love Is Selfish - Jack White

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
