[Verse 1]
Well, I hate the way you see
Like a man that can't be fixed
Like a fool foolin' all but you
Who he really is
And I hate the way you hold me
Nervous as a cat
Like I might get the big idea
You'd forgive me just like that
[Chorus]
I wouldn't have it any other way
Heaven knows a sinner needs a saint
Oh, but when I've been my most ugly
I hate the way you love me
[Verse 2]
You're a hard woman to live with
I could never fill those shoes
An example for our children
I could never live up to
And I hate myself for staying
Where I should and should not be
Someone I know I don't deserve
And doesn't deserve me
[Chorus]
I wouldn't have it any other way
Heaven knows a sinner needs a saint
Oh, but when I've been my most ugly
I hate the way you love me
Ooh, I wouldn't have it any other way
Heaven knows a sinner needs a saint
And I love you're everything I ain't
But I hate the way
Yes, I hate the way you love me
