  • I'm a bad man
    James Dean, kinda Steve McQueen
    Straight out the bad lanes
    I rolled in and rained down
    Like a storm cloud or a heat wave
    That make you stay undercover where it's safe
    Don't give a damn about the plans you made
    We're staying in the bed all day

    'Cause I'm selfish
    Restless like a river, can't help it
    I'm taking what you give me but I still want more
    I still want more
    'Cause I'm selfish
    Yeah I'm selfish, I'm selfish for you

    Have you seen yourself in a full-length mirror
    Spinning around lately
    I'd lie, cheat, and steal
    Feel the sweet scent overtake me
    But the Lord sent an angel to save me
    So he can't blame me
    When my hands get a mind of their own
    Girl, if they get ahold of you, I ain't never letting go

    'Cause I'm selfish
    Restless like a river, can't help it
    I'm taking what you give me but I still want more
    I still want more
    'Cause I'm selfish
    Yeah I'm selfish, I'm selfish for you

    Oh, so selfish for you

    I still want more
    I still want more
    I still want more
    I still want more

    'Cause I'm selfish
    Restless like a river, can't help it
    I'm taking what you give me but I still want more
    I still want more
    'Cause I'm selfish
    Yeah I'm selfish, I'm selfish for you

    Still want more
    I still want more
    I still want more
    I still want more
    'Cause I'm selfish
    I'm selfish for you Writer/s: Jason Gantt, Jordan Davis, Josh Dorr
