I'm no Barbie doll I'm not your baby girl So I've done ugly things and I have made mistakes And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word? Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud Why do you love me Why do you love me Why do you love me it's driving me crazy Why do you love me Why do you love me Why do you love me it's driving me crazy Why do you love me Why do you love me Why do you love me it's driving me crazy Why do you love me Why do you love me You're not some baby boy Why you acting so surprised You're sick of all the rules Well I'm sick of all your lies Now I've held back a wealth of shit I think I'm gonna choke I'm standing in the shadows with the words stuck in my throat Does it really come as a surprise when I tell you I don't feel good? That nothing ever came from nothing man Oh man ain't that the truth Why do you love me Why do you love me Why do you love me it's driving me crazy Why do you love me Why do you love me Why do you love me it's driving me crazy Why do you love me Why do you love me Why do you love me it's driving me crazy Why do you love me Why do you love me I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it, I do it again I think you're sleeping with a friend of mine I have no proof but I think that I'm right And you've still got the most beautiful face It just makes me sad most of the time I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it, I do it again I do it again I do it again I do it again Why do you love me Why do you love me Why do you love me it's driving me crazy Why do you love me Why do you love me Why do you love me it's driving me crazy Why do you love me Why do you love me Why do you love me Why do you love me
