Drawn like a moth to a flame
I've been consumed by the fire
I've only got myself to blame
I shoulda known better
Than giving into desire

And with an arrow through my heart
I watch your image fall apart
True colors blinding me
I don't like what I see

You know you got a bad attitude
I wanna love you
But you're too dumb, animal
Raw like a diamond in the rough
I think you're pretty
But you're too tough

You see the glass half empty
I see the glass half filled
You try to tell me it's alright
You say you're gonna change your ways
Oh baby
I know you never will

You know you got a bad attitude
I wanna love you
But you're too dumb, animal
Raw like a diamond in the rough
I think you're pretty
But you're too tough

I don't need your bad attitude
It's hard to love you
When you're too wild, animal
Raw like a diamond in the rough
I've had my fill, babe
Enough is enough

And with an arrow through my heart
I watch your image fall apart
True colors blinding me
I'm not impressed with what I see

Get out of here with your bad attitude
I wanna love you
But you're too wild, animal
Raw you're a diamond in the rough
I've had my fill, babe
Enough is enough

I don't need your bad attitude
It's hard to love you
When you when you're too wild, animal
Raw you're a diamond in the rough
You could be pretty
But you're too tough

I don't need bad attitude
I wanna love you
I wanna love you
