And I hate the way you see me Like a man who can't be fixed Like a fool fooling all but you Who he really is And I hate the way you hold me Nervous as a cat Like I might give in the big idea You'd forgive me just like that I wouldn't have it any other way Heaven knows a sinner needs a saint Oh but when I've been at my most ugly I hate the way you love me 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 I wouldn't have it any other way Heaven knows a sinner needs a saint Oh but when I've been at my most ugly I hate the way you love me I wouldn't have it any other way Heaven knows a sinner needs a saint And I love your everything-I-ain't But I hate the way Yes, I hate the way You love me
