I wrote her off for the tenth time today

And practiced all the things I would say

But she came over I lost my nerve

I took her back and made her dessert

Now I know I'm being used

That's okay man 'cause I like the abuse

Now I know she's playing with me

That's okay 'cause I've got no self-esteem

Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

♪ ♪ ♪

Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

We make plans to go out at night

I wait 'til 2 then I turn out the light

This rejection's got me so low

If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

When she's saying, oh that she wants only me

Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

When she's saying, oh that I'm like a disease

Then I wonder how much more I can spend

Well I guess I should stick up for myself

But I really think it's better this way

The more you suffer

The more it shows you really care, right? Yeah

♪ ♪ ♪

Now I'll relay this little bit

Happens more than I'd like to admit

Late at night, she knocks on my door

Drunk again and looking to score

Now I know I should say no but

It's kind of hard when she's ready to go

I may be dumb but I'm not a dweeb

I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem

Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

When she's saying, oh that she want's only me

Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

When she's saying, oh that I'm like a disease

Then I wonder how much more I can spend

Well I guess I should stick up for myself

But I really think it's better this way

The more you suffer

The more it shows you really care

Right?

Yeah yeah yeah
