You hurt me, you use me, you lie
You're heartless and hateful and cold
You don't care how you make me cry
You must have the last word and be in control
What is it about you, my love?

You're selfish and stubborn and proud
You're arrogant, boastful, and vain
You're careless and thoughtless and loud
A flirt and a tease and you cause me such pain
What is it about you I love?
What is it about you I love?

There's something about you that I seem to need
'Cause I have a hunger you know how to feed
And you satisfy me like nobody else
And those moments of heaven are worth all this hell

And I know that you love me your own crazy way
And I know you need me more than you can say
And I may be a fool, but I'll never give up
'Cause there's something about you I love
Just a great deal about you I love

And there's something about me that you seem to need
'Cause you have a hunger I know how to feed
And I satisfy you like nobody else
Those moments of heaven are worth all this hell

And I know in my heart that you want to be good
I understand that you're misunderstood
You're insecure and defensively tough
But there's something about you I love
Just a whole lot about you I love
There's something about you that I seem to need
What is it? What is it, my love?

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
