Lyrics
I can't lie I'm selfish
I admit I'm selfish
I want you down bad I want you breathless
I desire you intensely; I want you breathless
You have my mind screw you have it Memphis
Your presence dominates my thoughts; you have a hold on me like Memphis
If you with that man then you can dead this
If you are in a relationship with another man, it's time to end it
Selfish
Reiteration of selfishness
I can't lie to you gyal I'm so selfish
Confession of selfishness towards the girl
I want you down bad I want you breathless
Expressing intense desire for the girl
You have my mind screw you have it Memphis
Reiteration of the girl's influence on the singer's mind
If you with that man then you can
If you are in a relationship with another man
Dead this
Action to end a relationship
I lost myself in the man you dreamt if
The singer lost their true self in the image the girl envisioned
I had mind to show you my real side would you still spend it
If the singer revealed their true self, would the girl still accept them?
Time that you spent lying to keep me hide would you repent it
Questioning the time spent lying to protect the relationship; questioning repentance
I know you not mine but you not his I swear we rent it
The singer acknowledges the non-exclusive nature of their relationship
I can't lie that all my vices follow me
The singer admits their vices accompany them
Pray you see me flawlessly, cause I hide all my honesty
Hoping to be seen flawlessly despite hiding honesty
And I can't lie that
Reiteration of the inability to be completely honest
I need you to fall asleep
Expressing a need for the girl's presence to fall asleep
You hate gyal that talk to me, but they can't see you
Despite disliking other girls talking to the singer, the girl remains unseen
Calling, falling
Describing a sense of calling or attraction
Losing on my interest but I stall it, pause it
Interest waning but being paused or delayed
I need your attention yeah I want it
Expressing a desire for the girl's attention
Prove that I'm above these man who lost it
Wanting to prove superiority over other men who have lost something
I just want to keep you as my option
Expressing a desire to keep the girl as an option
Weight of this lie heavy on my conscious
Weighed down by the burden of lies on the conscience
No quiero mentir, baby, I'm selfish
A line in Spanish, "No quiero mentir, baby, I'm selfish" translates to "I don't want to lie, baby, I'm selfish"
I want you down bad I want you breathless
Reiteration of intense desire for the girl
You have my mind screw you have it Memphis
Reiteration of the girl's influence on the singer's mind
If you with that man then you can dead this
If you are in a relationship with another man, it's time to end it
Selfish
Reiteration of selfishness
I can't lie to you gyal I'm so selfish
Confession of selfishness towards the girl
I want you down bad I want you breathless
Expressing intense desire for the girl
You have my mind screw you have it Memphis
Reiteration of the girl's influence on the singer's mind
If you with that man, then you can
If you are in a relationship with another man
