I hate myself for falling in love with you — yeah!
'Cause you wrecked my life
And you broke my heart in two — yeah!
You told me that you loved me
An I believed in you
But how could you love me
When you treat me the way you do?
I love you dear, and I miss you
Honest I do, oh yes
But I hate myself for fallin' in love with you
'Get 'em outta here, ah!'
(instrumental — kazoo & clarinet)
Yes, I hate myself for falling in love with you — yeah!
Because you wrecked my life
And you broke my heart in two — yeah!
Now, you told me that you loved me
An I believed in you
But how could you love me
And treat me the way you do?
I love you and I miss you
Honest I do-ooo, oh yeah
But I hate myself for fallin' in love with you
'Get out'
(instrumental)
I love you, dear and I miss you
Honest I do-ooo, yes
But I hate myself for falling, falling
Falling in love wit' you darlin'.
