I get it, you hate me
Longing for respect, whatever
I showed you, you think it's all about me
I get it, you hate me
Longing for respect but what if I showed you
That's all I've been trying to do
All people make mistakes that others kept locked away
And reused when they think it's okay to say in any other way
All people make mistakes that others kept locked away
And reused when they think it's okay to say in any other way
But I'm a selfish little devil child
That's how you label me
And I will be the devil child so you can set me free
I try to be an angel but you never believe me
'Cause I'm a selfish little devil child and that is all I'll be
I don't think you see that
I treat you with respect
In ways that others wouldn't do
And maybe my way doesn't suit you
I don't think you see that
I understand the points you make
I cannot be perfect and that has upset you
All people make mistakes that others kept locked away
And reused when they think it's okay to say in any other way
All people make mistakes that others kept locked away
And reused (Reused)
'Cause I'm a selfish little devil child
That's how you label me
And I will be the devil child so you can set me free
I try to be an angel but you never believe me
'Cause I'm a selfish little devil child and that is all I'll be
You give and give
But baby, I don't want to take and take
Because I cannot give you what you want
What you have given me so (Let me go and let me be)
You give and give (You give)
But maybe, I don't want to take and take (And take)
Because I cannot give you what you want (You want)
What you have given me so let me go and let me be
(You give and take)
(You want)
'Cause I'm a selfish little devil child (You give and take)
I'm a selfish little devil child (You want)
'Cause I'm a selfish little devil child
That's how you label me
And I will be the devil child so you can set me free
I try to be an angel but you never believe me
'Cause I'm a selfish little devil child and that is all I'll be
