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
