I hate myself for falling in love with you — yeah!

'Cause you wrecked my life

And you broke my heart in two — yeah!

You told me that you loved me

An I believed in you

But how could you love me

When you treat me the way you do?

I love you dear, and I miss you

Honest I do, oh yes

But I hate myself for fallin' in love with you

'Get 'em outta here, ah!'

(instrumental — kazoo & clarinet)

Yes, I hate myself for falling in love with you — yeah!

Because you wrecked my life

And you broke my heart in two — yeah!

Now, you told me that you loved me

An I believed in you

But how could you love me

And treat me the way you do?

I love you and I miss you

Honest I do-ooo, oh yeah

But I hate myself for fallin' in love with you

'Get out'

(instrumental)

I love you, dear and I miss you

Honest I do-ooo, yes

But I hate myself for falling, falling

Falling in love wit' you darlin'.
