Loving Me                     by William Thompson

Intro

G     D      A         G     A    D        G   D 

Verse one

D                                   G

Momma said you gotta love yourself

                    Em                          A

She imprinted it on my brain

D                                  G

Part of my blood I can’t get beyond

                   Em                           A

Feel it coursing through my veins

       D                                           G

Women have called me a narcissist

        Em                       A

Whatever that may be

            G                                    D

If it means self-centered, free to do what you want,

              Em                 A

Well, I guess I’m guilty

Verse two

D                            G                                                  

The only pure of heart are kids and dogs,

         Em                         A

and maybe Momma too

D                            G                                                  

They’ll love you and not lookin’ for

Em                                  A

something they can take from you

D                          G

Far from a perfect man,

   Em                              A

Take or leave me as I am

G                          D

And if you don’t fall in love with me

Em                                    A

I’ll understand and won’t give a damn

Chorus

G                          A                                       D                                  G

Never suffered a broken heart nor the pain that makes you weak

G                          A                                       D                                  G

Made love to a lot of women, just because I could not sleep

G                                                 A                                        D

One thing’s for sure, there’s no one I love more than me

Instrumental Bridge

Em    D      A      Em    D   A   Em     D     A            G     D

Verse three

D                                                 G

If you expect to find some sign of regret, well

Em                                             A

Don’t hold your breath

D                                                G

If there’s a woman who will change my mind, I

Em                                             A

Haven’t met her yet

D                                               G

There maybe one who’ll sweep me off my feet

Em                                            A

That I have not found

G                                               D

But until that day, they gotta stay

Em                                            A

Planted firmly on the ground

Chorus

G                          A                                       D                                  G

Never suffered a broken heart nor the pain that makes you weak

G                          A                                       D                                  G

Made love to a lot of women, just because I could not sleep

G                                                 A                                        D

One thing’s for sure, there’s no one I love more than me

Verse four

D                                                 G

You say I’ll end up sad and dyin’ alone,

       Em                          A

Well, I guess I’ll take that chance.

D                                          G

That’s the price I’ll pay for having it my way

Em                               A

A life short on romance.

D                                          G

So please try not to judge me

Em                                       A

You know nothing of my past

G                                 D

Before you say another word,

Em                              A

Can you guarantee a love that will last? 

Chorus

G                          A                                       D                                  G

Never suffered a broken heart nor the pain that makes you weak

G                          A                                       D                                  G

Made love to a lot of women, just because I could not sleep

G                                                 A                                        D

One thing’s for sure, there’s no one I love more than me

Outro

G                                                A

One thing’s for sure, I could never adore

G                                                A

One thing’s for sure, I’ll never get bored

G                                                A                                      D

One thing’s for sure, there’s no one I love more than me.

A song about a subject I was discussing with a friend who may or may not be the subject of the song, though he doesn't think so, lol.  The lyrics spell it out so see what you think!

I wrote it and performed it.
