Selfish Reasons Songtext

von The Temptations

[Intro]
Whatchu gon' do, you wanna get down?
Come on, whatchu gon' do, girl?
Come on, you wanna get down?
Come on, come on

(Do you wanna get down? Come on, come on)
(Come on, you wanna get down?)

So many nights I made you cry
With only a pillow to hold on tight
Out living a life of fools
I had to be crazy to play on you baby, uh

When you called girl, I should have ran
I acted like a selfish man
What am I gonna do if I ever lose you, oh

1 - I won't let you go
For my own selfish reasons
I want you to know
You'll be my lover for all seasons
Winter, spring, summer and fall

(Whatchu wanna do, you wanna get down?)
(Tell me whatchu gonna do baby)
(Come on, do you wanna get down? Get down, get up, come on)

I'll do anything to prove myself
Cuz I don't wanna see you with no one else
I was stingy as a little child
And girl I get flashbacks when you come around, oh

What do you want me to change
Without you I can't explain
Girl, what am I gonna do if I ever lose you, oh

Repeat 1
(Baby come on, do you wanna get down?)
(Come on, come on)

I'm a selfish kind of guy
And I need you by my side
Oh yeah, oh happy
That's the way it's got to be
When it comes to lovin' me

Repeat 1

(Come on, what what)
(Come on, come on)
(Come on, whatchu gonna do baby)
(Come on)

Repeat 1

I won't let you go (No no)
For my own selfish reasons
