I remember how we used to be
You were easy to please
Never a worry never a doubt
We were sailing in the breeze
Then somethin' came over you
And it made me wonder
I made up my mind and I knew what I had to do
I warned you not to come around anymore
‘Cause I hate to love you
I don't care if the whole world disagrees
I said "beat it!" but you pleaded for more
It's too late to love you
Release me from these chains and set me free
Let me be, ‘cause I hate to love you
I was sure I'd never see you again
I thought we had made it to the end
But you returned to the scene of the crime
You began to conjure up old times
Then somethin' came over me
And it made me wonder
It was k**in' me, murder in the first degree
I warned you not to come around anymore
‘Cause I hate to love you
I don't care if the whole world disagrees
I said "beat it!" but you pleaded for more
It's too late to love you
Release me from these chains and set me free
Let me be, ‘cause I hate to love you
And I don't care if the whole world disagrees
Your head is tellin' you that I'm right
But your heart keeps sayin' I'm wrong
Then you learn that it's all a game
Love can trick your mind to think you need some more
But it can never be like before
I warned you not to come around anymore
‘Cause I hate to love you
I don't care if the whole world disagrees
I said "beat it!" but you pleaded for more
It's too late to love you
Release me from these chains and set me free
Let me be, woe! let me be, can't you see you're k**in' me
‘Cause I hate to love you
I hate to love you
Ooh! it's too late to love you
