You Get Yours
Navigating Selfishness and Shame: Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Insights
Lyrics
You're selfish
You possess a self-centered nature
Like me
Similar to me
It's why we get along
Our selfishness is a reason for our excellent relationship
Famously
Notably
We're English
We're of English origin
As well
Also
So we're a
We have a tendency
We're a
Repeated emphasis
We're a little bit ashamed of ourselves
We experience a degree of shame about ourselves
It's ok to be needy
It's acceptable to require support
Just not voraciously greedy
But not excessively grasping for more
Let's make sure that we don't let it show
We should ensure our selfishness isn't overt
You get yours and I'll get mine
You pursue your interests, and I'll do the same
We'll justify our actions
We'll rationalize our behavior at a later time
Some other time
You're anxious
You're experiencing unease or worry
In dreams
In your dreams or imagination
'cause you've come apart
Feeling fragmented or falling apart
At the seams
Revealing vulnerability
Revealing inside
Showing what's within
What it was
It clarifies
What it was
What it was that you were trying to hide
What you attempted to conceal
I don't know how to be friendly
I struggle to be amiable
When you're consumed with envy
When your envy dominates
It never stops controlling how I feel
Envy continues to influence my emotions
Tell me you love me and this time mean it
Express genuine love towards me this time
