Doo doo whop oh oh
Doo doo whop oh
Doo doo whop

Doo doo whop oh oh

So many nights I made you cry
With only your pillow to hold on tight
I′m living the life of fools
I had to be crazy to play on you baby unh
When you call (When you call)
Girl I should I ran (I shoulda ran)
But I acted (Acted like)
A selfish man (A selfish man)
What am I (What am I)
Gonna do (Gonna do)
If I ever lose you oh oh
I won't let you go
For my own selfish reasons (Baby listen here)
I want you to know
You′ll be my lover for all seasons
Winter spring summer and fall

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 flash backs when you come around oh
What do you want (What do you want)

Me to change (Me to change)
Without you (Without you)
I can′t explain (I can′t explain)
Girl what am I (What am I)
Gonna do (Gonna do)
If I ever lose you

I won't let you go
For my own selfish reasons yeah yeah
I want you to know baby
You′ll be my lover for all seasons yeah
Winter spring summer and fall baby
I'm a selfish kinda guy and I need you by my side oh yeah


That′s the way it's gotta be when it comes to lovin′ me
(I won't let you go) yeah baby oh come on
(For my own selfish reasons) for my own selfish reasons baby
