[Verse 1]
Baby boy, what you done to me?
I saw you smiling suddenly
I can't get you out my mind
I got it bad boy, I can't lie
I want your time and your full attention
I wanna to talk to you
And not to mention good love that you give to me
I think about it constantly
No, I won't apologize for feeling like I do
It's just the simple facts of life
I'm crazy over you

[Chorus]
I'm a selfish girl when it comes to you
Every minute of the day
I'm addicted to what you're giving me, boy
It's killing me
When it comes to love, I'm not tryna share you
You might think I'm greedy, but I just don't care
I need you in my world 'cause I'm a selfish girl

[Verse 2]
I understand that you got your crew
But I've got something in mind for you
Make you lose all track of time
Guaranteed to blow your mind
I don't care what anybody got to say
Maybe they never had it quite this way
Let them talk and criticize
They all need to recognize
They might see I'm a bit extreme
To need you night and day
What I feel can't be concealed
There ain't no other way

[Chorus]
I'm a selfish girl when it comes to you (I'm a selfish girl)
Every minute of the day
I'm addicted to what you're giving me, boy
It's killing me
When it comes to love, I'm not tryna share you
(When it comes to love, I don't share)
You might think I'm greedy, but I just don't care
I need you in my world 'cause I'm a selfish girl

[Bridge]
Boy, you got me tripping
I didn't know what I was missing
This is crazy (Crazy)
So amazing (So amazing)
I didn't mean to be demanding, but I hope you're understanding
I'm not playing, boy (I'm not playing, boy)
I'm just saying, boy
They might seem I'm a bit extreme
To need you night and day
But what I feel can't be concealed
There ain't no other way

[Chorus]
(I'm a selfish girl) I'm a selfish girl when it comes to you
Every minute of the day (Every day)
I'm addicted to what you're giving me, boy
It's killing me
When it comes to love, I'm not tryna share you
You might think I'm greedy, but I just don't care
I need you in my world 'cause I'm a selfish girl
(Need you in my world, I'm a selfish girl)

[Outro]
Boy, you got me tripping
I didn't know what I was missing (Didn't know what I was missing)
This is crazy (Crazy)
So amazing (So amazing)
I didn't mean to be demanding, but I hope your understanding

A true pop icon, Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty is a singer, actress, and businesswoman from Saint Michael, Barbados. She was first discovered by American record producer Evan Rogers in 2003 and later signed a contract to Def Jam Recordings in 2004, after auditioning for its then-president, JAY-Z.

The following year, in 2005, she released her debut album Music of the Sun and its follow-up, A Girl Like Me, in 2006. Both albums did well commercially, but it wasn’t until the release of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, in 2007 that poised Rihanna as an international pop star. It became her first album to receive a Grammy nomination (seven to be exact) and features one of her biggest hits, “Umbrella.”

Moving onto 2009, Rihanna released her fourth studio album, Rated R. It featured a darker and more atmospheric tone from her previous albums. She released her fifth studio album, Loud, the next year in 2010. It marked her return to making dance-pop records. That summer, she featured on Eminem’s smash hit, “Love the Way You Lie” and is one of her most popular features of all time.
