Lyrics[]
La la la la la la la la la la
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
And while I know I'm bein' used
That's okay, man, 'cause I like the abuse
While I know she's playin' with me
That's okay 'cause I got no self esteem
Oh way oh yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah
We make plans to go out at night
I wait 'til two, 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 way oh yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah yeah
When she's sayin'
All that she wants, only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's sayin'
All 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
FREEFORM
Now I'll relate
This little bit
It happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night
She knocks on my door
She's drunk again and lookin' to score
Now I know
I should say no, but
It's kinda 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 way oh yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah yeah
When's she's sayin'
All that she wants, only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's sayin'
All 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
