[English]

I'm a lush

And I'm drunk again off another crush

Don't rush

Just take your time, don't feel too much

And how 'bout you just take some blame?

I always take all the pain

You should just forget my name

And I (I)

Ignore all the warning signs (the warning signs)

Fall for you every time

Don't call me "baby" (baby)

I love it when you hate me

I know it's crazy (crazy)

I love it when you hate me

The highs, the lows, the yes, the no's (the no's)

You're so hot when you get cold

Don't call me "baby" (baby)

I love it when you hate me

Yeah, I love it when you hate me, wish you could erase me

I've been so depressed, I don't think anyone could save me

Look at what you did, girl, look at how you changed me

Funny how you twistin' up the truth, and then you blame me

Runnin' out of fucks that I could give to you

But you could still be pretty on the inside too

Your heart's so cold, but I love the way you lie

Shoulda seen the red flags, but for you, I'm fuckin' blind

And I

Ignore all the warning signs (the warning signs)

Fall for you every time

Don't call me "baby" (baby)

I love it when you hate me

I know it's crazy (crazy)

I love it when you hate me

The highs, the lows, the yes, the no's (the no's)

You're so hot when you get cold

Don't call me "baby" (baby)

I love it when you hate me

(Love it when you hate me, love it when you hate me)

(Love it when you hate me, love it when you hate me)

And I (I)

Ignore all the warning signs (the warning signs)

Fall for you every time

Don't call me "baby"

I love it when you hate me

I know it's crazy (crazy)

I love it when you hate me

The highs, the lows, the yes, the no's (the no's)

You're so hot when you get cold

Don't call me "baby" (baby)

I love it when you hate me
