(Girl you've been treatin' me so bad - and I think I like it). (Girl I don't think you understand so I'm gonna tell ya how it is). You can do anything ya want with me - You can lie and I'll believe. You can tell me stay and I'll be waiting. To be the one who wants to hold your hand - To be your foolish man. And when ya do me wrong I'll say I'm sorry. Someday when ya want me and ya lose the man ya left behind. I say it in my mind but never say it out loud. We both know deep down I'll be the one who's still around. It's breaking all my spirit down and lifting you so high. It's a cruel cruel world. And I've got a girl that shows me it's true. In a world so unkind. I've got to ask why I'd want to stay with you. Cause I hate me more than I love you. GUEST LYRICIST - ANOMOS:. Self esteem lower than snow at 12 below - Aint never seen nice so bad is all I know. It's hard to look up when all I feel is down - Explain my pains through instruments with sound. All these years of searchin for the right answers - That you never helped me come closer to.

Please don't ask me why - I just might tell the truth. I hate me more than I love you. Ya never showed me any love before. Just a game and ya played me like a cheap hand. The more ya treat me like an open door. The more I like it and keep on crawlin' back again. Draggin me and my dignity across the floor to ya now. So you can kick me when I'm down. Oh use me and abuse me - you're never gonna lose me. I can't let go of anything. Punish me won't ya punish me - I don't deserve all the better things. Punish me won't ya punish me - I can't forgive an imperfect me. It's a cruel cruel world. And I've got a girl that shows me it's true. In a world so unkind.
