The song comes from the movie “Jerk Theory” which is a 2009 film about the artist Josh Henderson who plays the protagonist who decided to be heartless because he got his heart broken when he was nice
[Intro]
What in the world was I thinking
When I went and bought you those flowers and candy
I was thinking that every girl wants a nice guy
Someone she can trust but I guess I was not right
What is wrong with me
Or do I have to be
A jerk so you'll want me
A jerk so we can be
Together Happily
[Verse 1]
And this time I'll just use you
If you ask me nice then I'll even abuse you
Frequently, I'll tell you you're fat and annoying
Frequently, I'll tell you I don't want a girlfriend
[Chorus 1]
What is wrong with me
Or do I have to be
A jerk so you'll want me
A jerk so we can be
Together happily
[Verse 2]
And I won't ever call you
I will cheat on you whenever I want to
After that, I'll tell you I'm sorry,forgive me
And I don't know why but you want to be with me
[Chorus 2]
What is wrong with you
It's sad but it is true
You're forcing me to play
The same old stupid games
Cause you want what you can't have
So I have to treat you bad
I don't mean to be so mean
But you're forcing me to be
A jerk so we can be
Together Happily
Together Happily
[Bridge]
Then you'll leave me and you'll find a man
Who'll love you so much he'll ask for your hand
Gonna come along and treat you like you're trash
I don't know why but you'll still want me back
[Chorus 2]
What is wrong with you
It's sad but it is true
You're forcing me to play
The same old stupid games
Cause you want what you can't have
So I have to treat you bad
I don't mean to be so mean
But you're forcing me to be
A jerk so we can be
Together Happily
Together Happily
[Outro]
We'll be together happily
