I Hate Myself for Loving You
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Lyrics

Midnight, gettin' uptight Where are you?
It's getting late and I'm worried that you're not going to show up when you said you would.

You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two
You promised to meet me but now it's past midnight and you're nowhere to be found.

I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you
I realize that I'm being needy and clingy, but I can't help wanting to be with you.

Hey, Jack, It's a fact they're talkin' in town
People are talking about you and the fact that you're seeing other women.

I turn my back and you're messin' around
When I'm not looking, you're cheating on me with other women.

I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown
I don't want to appear jealous or foolish, but I can't help feeling hurt by your infidelity.

I think of you every night and day
I can't stop thinking about you, even when I'm trying to sleep.

You took my heart, then you took my pride away
You broke my heart, and now I feel ashamed and humiliated for ever loving you in the first place.

I hate myself for loving you
I despise myself for continuing to have feelings for someone who doesn't respect me or my feelings.

Can't break free from the the things that you do
I can't seem to move on from the pain you've caused me, no matter how hard I try.

I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why
Even though I know I should leave and never look back, I keep coming back to you because I still love you.

Daylight, spent the night without you
I spent the night alone without you by my side.

But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
Despite everything, I still have dreams about the love and intimacy we shared in the past.

I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through
I'm trying to forgive you and move on from the pain you've caused me, but it's not easy.

Hey, man, bet you can treat me right
I'm trying to move on and find someone who will treat me better than you ever did.

You just don't know what you was missin' last night
You don't realize what you're missing out on by continuing to prioritize other women over me.

I want to see your face and say forget it just from spite
I want to be able to confront you and tell you that I'm moving on, just to spite you for what you've put me through.

I hate myself for loving you
I still hate myself for continuing to love you despite everything you've done to hurt me.

Can't break free from the the things that you do
I can't seem to escape the pain and heartbreak that you've inflicted on me.

I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why
Even though I know I should leave and never look back, I keep coming back to you because I still love you.

I hate myself for loving you
I still hate myself for continuing to love you despite everything you've done to hurt me.

Can't break free from the things that you do
I can't seem to escape the pain and heartbreak that you've inflicted on me.

I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why
Even though I know I should leave and never look back, I keep coming back to you because I still love you.

I think of you every night and day
I can't stop thinking about you, even when I'm trying to sleep.

You took my heart, then you took my pride away
You broke my heart, and now I feel ashamed and humiliated for ever loving you in the first place.

I hate myself for loving you
I despise myself for continuing to have feelings for someone who doesn't respect me or my feelings.

Can't break free from the the things that you do
I can't seem to move on from the pain you've caused me, no matter how hard I try.

I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why
Even though I know I should leave and never look back, I keep coming back to you because I still love you.

I hate myself for loving you
I still hate myself for continuing to love you despite everything you've done to hurt me.
