[Verse 1: Justin with JC, All]
I just don't understand
Why you're running from a good man, baby
Why you wanna turn your back on love
Why you've already given up
See I know you've been hurt before
But I swear I'll give you so much more
I swear I'll never let you down
'Cause I swear it's you that I adore

[Pre-Chorus 1: Justin with JC, All]
And I can't help myself, babe
'Cause I think about you constantly
And my heart gets no rest over you
You, you, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Justin with All]
You can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
And you can call me hopeless
(Hopeless...) Baby
'Cause I'm hopelessly in love
You can call me un-perfect but who's perfect?
Tell me what do I gotta do
To prove that I'm the only one for you?
(To prove that I'm the only one)
So what's wrong with being selfish?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: JC with Chris, All]
I'll be taking up your time
'Til the day I make you realize (realize)
That for your there could be no one else
I've just gotta have you for myself (for myself)
Baby, I would take good care of you (good care)
No matter what it is you're going through
I'll be there for you when you're in need
Baby, believe in me

[Pre-Chorus 2: JC with All]
'Cause if love was a crime (hey yeah)
Then punish me, I would die for you
'Cause I don't want to live without you
Oh what can I do, oh-oh?

[Chorus: JC with All]
You can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
And you can call me hopeless, baby
'Cause I'm hopelessly in love
You can call me un-perfect but who's perfect?
Tell me what do I gotta do
To prove that I'm the only one for you?

[Bridge: Justin, JC with All]
Why do you keep us apart?
Why won't you give up your heart?
You know that we're meant to be together
And why do you push me away?
All that I want is to give you love
Forever and ever and ever...
(And ever and ever and ever...)

[Chorus: JC with All, Justin]
You can call me selfish
But all I want is your love
You can call me hopeless, baby
'Cause I'm hopelessly in love
You can call me unperfect but who's perfect?
Tell me what do I gotta do (baby)
To prove that I'm the only one for you?

[Middle 8: All, Justin & JC]
Selfishly I'm (hey yeah) in love with you (oh)
'Cause I've searched my soul (searched my soul, baby)
And know that it's you
Selfishly I'm (selfishly I'm) in love with you
'Cause I've searched my soul (searched my soul)
And know that it's you
Selfishly I'm in love with you (so in love with you)
'Cause I've searched my soul
And know that it's you
To prove that I'm the only one for you

[Outro: JC & Justin]
So what's wrong with being
Selfish, selfish, selfish?
So what's wrong with being selfish?
Yeah

*NSYNC (sometimes stylized as ★NSYNC, formally stylized as ‘N Sync) was an American boy band formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995 and launched in Germany by BMG Ariola Munich. The group consisted of Justin Timberlake, J.C. Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass.

After heavily publicized legal battles with their former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Sony BMG, the group’s second album, No Strings Attached, sold over one million copies in one day and 2.42 million copies in one week.

In addition to a host of Grammy Award nominations, *NSYNC has performed at the World Series, the Super Bowl and the Olympic Games, and sang or recorded with Elton John, Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, Aerosmith, Mary J.
