"Selfish Jean" lyrics
"Selfish Jean"
Cheers
Thanks for everything
You hung me up by my heart
You're just so selfish, Jean
Yes you are
Hey you
Threw it all away
By holding everything in
Hey, Jean, don't rock the boat
When you can't swim
Well a perfect understanding of the finer things in life
A quite alarming knack of knowing when to twist the knife
Ah-ah selfish Jean
Here's to you
Who had everything
And left it out on the shelf
There's no-one else to blame
Except yourself
Well a perfect combination of good etiquette and charm
You keep the chocolate biscuits wired to a car alarm
Ah-ah selfish Jean
But I'm standing on my own
And this house is not a home
It's sad to see you go
Things are high
Things are low
And it's good to know you know
If you got nowhere to go
Well you could spend the night with me
There will be no guarantee that I'll be here
In the morning
Or any time that you call
I hear you snoring, Jean
Through the wall
So hey
Here's to everything
To peace and love in our time
Ah, Jean, the slate is clean
I guess we're fine
Well I don't expect a miracle
I'm not asking you to change
If you can't see me happy well just look the other way
Ah-ah selfish Jean
Ah-ah selfish Jean
Jean

Not to speak my mind
And to lie to you
Rather than hurt you
Well I'll confess all of my sins

But still I'll hide from you,
Hide what's inside from you...
