They say my love is selfish
How can I be selfish when all I want
Is to give myself to you
Over and over again
If necessary, I'll write out a deed
And mark it into my skin indelibly
That you own my heart
And all the love it does contain
I'll write you a thousand love songs
Give you the moon, the stars
If I but had the reach
But my ambition far outshines my ambit
All that I have to give
Is myself, and I know that's nothing much
I'm just a person, no divinity from on high
I've got brains, and wit, but naught else
Possession goes both ways, I suppose
If I was yours in word and deed
Then you would be mine, though
Speak that aloud? I never would
My reach exceeds my grasp
But you can't extinguish hope
My heart beats because I love you
Without you, my life is worthless
All I want, all I need
Is to give myself to you
Again and again, till you accept it
If that's selfish, I'm guilty
