Paroles
You! Love! Yourself! In terms of what is other In terms of what is other You! Love! Yourself! In terms of what is other In terms of what is other Now when you go deeply into the nature of selfishness What do you discover? You say I love myself, I seek my own advantage Now what is the self that I love? What do I want? And that becomes an increasingly ever deepening puzzle Now I've often referred to this when you say to somebody else I love you, it's always rather disconcerting to the person to whom you say that If you imply that you love them with a pure disinterested and holy love They automatically suspect it as being a little bit phony But if you say “I love you so much I could eat you” That's an expression, it’s a way of saying to a person you attract me so much that I can't help it I'm absolutely bowled over by you I'm gone And people like that Then they feel they're really being loved That it's absolutely genuine But now, I love you so much I could eat you Now what the devil do I want? I certainly don't want to eat the girl in the sense of literally devouring her Because then she'd disappear Hmmmm But I love myself And what is me, in what way do I know me? When it suddenly occurs to me that I know me only in terms of you See when I think of anything that I know and I like Then it's always something that can be viewed as other than me I can never get to look at me, real me It's always behind, it's always hidden And I really don't know it well enough to know whether I love it or not Maybe I don't, maybe it's an appalling mess But certainly the things I do love, and that I want from a selfish point of view When I really think about them they're all something else That's in a way outside me
