I keep losing respect for you
and gaining a funny affection too
when after everything you've said
you still take me back again
even I know that you shouldn't,
but I guess it's not my problem

'cause you're a sucker, you see
you keep on falling for me
and you know that I'm no good
did you know that I'm no good for you?
oh, a sucker for real
falling head over heels
when I'm actually no good
did you know that I'm no good for you?

If I push it, I can't be blamed
when you constantly fascinate
when one of my careless words
somehow seems to strike a nerve
oh, I almost get nostalgic
for a time when I could be hurt

[chorus]

I look in the mirror and just shrug
thinking how could that be somebody you love
no, you wouldn't hurt a fly now baby
you're the one who'd wind up getting crushed

I guess I keep you around for laughs
and when I squint you could even pass
but if I start to hear the bells,
then I have to kick myself
'cause even if you're worth the trouble
I know I'm beyond all help now

[chorus 2x]
