[Verse 1]
         
         

            
I wrote her of

          
f for the tent

            
h time today
            
And practiced 

          
all the things

            
 I would say
            
But she came o

          
ver, I lost my

      
 nerve
            
I took her bac

          
k and made her

        
 dessert
        
Oh I know, I'm

           
 being used
            
That's okay ma

          
n cause I like

          
 the abuse
          
Oh I know, she

            
's playing wit

    
h me
          
That's okay ca

             
use I've got n

            
o self esteem

[Chorus]
          
Oh hey yeah,  

     
yeah yeah yeah
       
 Ohhhh yeah ye


ah
       
 Ohhhh yeah ye


ah
       
 Ohhhh yeah ye

[Pre-Chorus]
          
We make plans,

            
 go out at nig

  
ht
           
I wait till 2,

           
 then I turn o

            
ut the light
          
This rejection

            
's, got me so 

   
low
            
She keeps it u

          
p I just might

            
 tell her so

[Chorus]
          
Oh hey yeah,  

     
yeah yeah yeah
       
 Ohhhh yeah ye


ah
       
 Ohhhh yeah ye


ah
       
 Ohhhh yeah ye

[Refrain]
         
When she's say

            
ing, oh, that 

            
she wants only

 
 me
           
Then I wonder 

            
why she sleeps

            
 with my frien

  
ds
         
When she's say

            
ing, oh, that 

           
I'm like a dis


ease
           
Then I wonder 

            
how much more 

      
I can spend
         
Well I guess, 

            
I should stick

       
 up for myself
           
But I really t

            
hink it's bett

           
er this way
             
The more you s

          
uffer, the mor

            
e it shows you

         
 really care
          
Right? Yeah-eh

That happens m

           
ore than I'd l

Late at night

She's drunk ag

Oh I know, I s

It's kind of h

            
ard when she's

I may be dumb,
