Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Midnight, getting' uptight, where are you?

You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to 2:00

I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you

[Verse 2]

Hey Jack, it's a fact they're talkin' in town

I turn my back and you're messin' around

I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown

[PreChorus]

I think of you every night and day

You took my heart, and you took my pride away

[Chorus]

I hate myself for lovin' you

I hate myself

Can't break free from the things that you do

Can't break free

I wanna walk but I run back to you

That's why I hate myself for lovin' you

[Verse 3]

Daylight, spent the night without you

But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do

I'm over being angry 'bout the hell you put me through

Hey, man, bet you can't treat me right

You just don't know what you were missin' last night

I wanna see you beggin', say, "Forget it," just for spite

[PreChorus]

I think of you every night and day

You took my heart, and you took my pride away

[Chorus]

I hate myself for lovin' you

Can't break free from the things that you do

I wanna walk, but I run back to you

That's why I hate myself for lovin' you

[Bridge]

I hate myself

For lovin' you

[PreChorus]

I think of you every night and day

You took my heart, and you took my pride away

[Chorus]

I hate myself

For lovin' you

Can't break free

From the things that you do

I wanna walk

But I run back to you

I hate myself for lovin' you

[Chorus]

I hate myself for lovin' you

I can't break free from the things that you do

I wanna walk, but I run back to you

That's why I hate myself for lovin' you

[Outro]

I hate myself

Why can't I turn you loose?

For lovin' you

I hate myself

I keep runnin' back to you

For lovin' you

I hate myself

Why do I keep holdin' on?

For lovin' you

I hate myself

I hate myself, I hate myself

I hate myself for lovin' you
