Liner Notes
Lyrics
It’s All About Me (Egotistical Introvert) – Mike Delaney, for FAWM25
I like to get applause It’s all about me I want praise and adulation I want everyone to see…me
I want to be the center of attention The one they all rave about Always in the spotlight The best, without a doubt
B-part: I have a raging ego, but I don’t like to talk about it. I want you to know, but please don’t make me shout it
Please leave me alone Don’t make me talk If you press me to speak Then I’ll get up and walk
I want to work by myself Need to avoid distraction I’m a sole contributor I’m a silent man of action
Chorus
Bridge: Don’t make me spell it out Whether imagined or real Whether wacko and far-fetched It’s truly how I feel
I hope you don’t feel sorry But I have this dual affliction An introverted egotist That’s my multiple mental addiction
So, you see… I’m an egotistical introvert It’s always all about me But I don’t want to talk about it If you ask me, I’ll flee
Chorus
Comments
Love the B part (chorus) -- it's what makes the whole thing work.
Ooh a live performance! I was very delighted by this, the words are humorous and I think pretty true for a lot of us 😆. Musically I really liked the little bass note walks on the transitions - that was a tasty touch 💚
