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

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 💚

Love the B part (chorus) -- it's what makes the whole thing work.
