[A] What in the world [E] was I thinking when I [A] went and bought you those flowers [E] and candy?
I was [A] thinking that every girl [E] wants a nice guy, someone she [A] can trust, but I guess [E] I
was not right.
What is [A] wrong with me?
Or do I [E] have to be a jerk so [A] you'll want me?
A jerk so [E] we can be together [A] happily and next time [E] I'll misuse you.
If you [A] ask me nice then I'll even [E] use you.
Frequently [A] I'll tell you that [E] is annoying.
Frequently [A] I'll tell you I don't [E] want a girlfriend.
What is [A] wrong with me?
Or do I [E] have to be a jerk so [A] you'll want me?
A jerk so [E] we can be together [A] happily and I won't [E] ever call you.
And I [A] will cheat on you whenever [E] I want to.
After [A] that I'll tell you I'm sorry, [E] forgive me, and I [A] don't know why but you'll want [E] to
be with me.
What is [A] wrong with you?
It's bad but [E] it's true.
You're forcing [A] me to play the same old [E] stupid games.
Cause you want what you [A] can't have so I have to treat [E] you bad.
I don't mean to be [A] so mean but you're forcing [E] me to be a jerk so [A] you'll want me.
A jerk so [E] we can be together [A] happily and together [E] happily.
[D] Then [A] you'll leave me and [E] you'll find a man [D] who'll love you [A] so much he'll [E] ask for your
hand.
[D] Then he'll come [A] along and treat you [E] like you're trash.
[D] I don't know [A] why but you'll still [E] want me back.
What is wrong [A] with you?
It's bad but [E] it's true.
You're forcing [A] me to play the same old [E] stupid games.
Cause you want what you [A] can't have so I have to treat [E] you bad.
I don't mean to be [A] so mean but you're forcing [E] me to be a jerk so [A] you'll want me.
A jerk so we [E] can be together [A] happily and together [E] happily.
You'll leave me and [A] you'll find a man who'll love you so much he'll ask for your hand.
