Rick Springfield

Springfield-Bissonette

My so called friends all quit without a kiss goodbye
Everybody thinks I’m a creep and so do I
I think that you all think that I’m insane
And you’re the weak link in my chain
I’ll climb on your cross
Go ahead and crucify me

Because I hate myself
Cause I want you
I hate myself
I’m a one man wreckin crew

You’re so bad for me, I’m like a dead man walkin
So let’s connect real soon and get em all talkin
I’ll circle the wagons around your bed
And prove I’m right with everything I've said

I hate myself
Cause I want you
I hate myself
I’m a one man wreckin crew

Damn the danger, the scandal too
Burning down, I’m black and blue
I hate myself
But I want you

I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself

Because I hate myself
Cause I want you
I hate myself
I’m a one man wreckin crew

You’re bad for me, I’m bad for you
My big breakdown your big breakthrough
I hate myself
But I want you
