When people write their songs of love they write of one another   
It's always Sis or Ma and Pa, a sweetheart or a brother   
But love songs that they've aimed at me have all gone on the shelf   
I don't think that is fair, so I'll write one of myself.
I love me, I love me, I love myself to death   
I love me, I love me, 'till I'm all out of breath   
I stop at every slot machine that I should chance to pass   
And give myself a hug and squeeze as I look in the glass

Oh, I love me, I love me, I'm wild about sweet me   
I love me, only me, so I'm content you see   
With me I like to make a date   
To meet myself at half past eight   
If I'm not there, I never wait   
I'm wild about myself

I love me, I love me, everyplace I go   
I love me, I love me, and at a movie show   
I take myself right by the arm and push me through the crowd   
And listen to myself read me the titles right out loud

Oh, I love me, I love me, I love to squeeze my hand   
I love me, I love me, it always feels so grand   
With me I get right in my tub   
I let myself give me a rub   
Oh, how I love to feel me scrub   
I'm wild about myself.

I love me, I love me, I'm wild about myself   
I love me, I love me, my picture's on my shelf   
You may think I look so good but me thinks I'm just fine   
It's grand when I look in my eyes and know they're mine all mine

I love me, I love me, and my love doesn't bore   
Day by day in every way, I love me more and more   
I take me to a quiet place   
I put my arm around my waist   
If me gets fresh, I slap my face (Oh! Ma!)   
I'm wild about myself
