I hate myself for loving you
I hate that I am such a fool tryin’
To please you all the time
Tiptoe round you like a mime

I hate myself for loving you

Your key crank in the door

Hate myself for loving you
But loving you is what I gotta do
I couldn’t leave you even if I wanted to

Like its true
I hate myself for loving you
But how I love to hate myself
