Lyrics

Later in the evening in the freezing cold
I woke up in the river with a pot of gold
And I wrote down a list of things that I wanted you to do
Now old man McKenna was a friend of mine
I used to bring him baskets filled with bottles of wine
And I whispered in his ear that everything I ever did was for you

But it's about me, it's about me
It's just about me, everything is all about me

I saw the people dancing out on Piccarelli Square
All of the McKenna's and their children were there
And I looked around, I thought I saw you dancing too
I never told you anything that wasn't a lie
I never left a room without an alibi
I never asked you to do anything that I myself would even dream to do

Cuz it's about me, it's about me
It's just about me, everything is all about me

Every song that I sing, every word that I say
Is meant purely to keep you, to keep you away
But don't, don't, don't
Don't be too mad at me you really feel bad for me
You're bound to get wise to me, it came as no surprise to me
It's all about, all about, now it's all about me

It's about me, it's about me, it's about me, it's about me
Everything is all about me
