Narcissism you say?
I can’t think of a single thing
That affects me less than this.
People ask me questions all day,
Because usually, I know all the answers.
But nobody asked this before.
Of course the answer is no.
Not now, not then, not ever.
If I were a narcissist,
Don’t you think I would know?
If someone had said so, I’d sure remember.
My memory’s better than most.
Narcissism? The very thought!
You’ve got a lot of nerve!
Of course the answer is no.
Not now, not then, not ever.
Narcissist? Not a chance.
I still can’t believe you’d ask.
I don’t think it matters
What you’ve heard people say,
I have only my own code to live by.
To my conscience be true,
Day in and day out.
Narcissist? Please, don’t be silly.

And who would I be
Without you worshipping me
There's nothing more beautiful
Than my reflection
Narcissism
Whatever you say,
Whatever you think,
For me I am better than everyone else.
In beauty, brawn or brains,
