I took a chance, I took a shotAnd you might think I’m bulletproof, but I’m notYou took a swing, I took it hardAnd down here from the ground, I see who you are
I’m sick and tired of your attitudeI’m feeling like I don’t know youYou tell me that you love me, then you cut me downAnd I need you like a heartbeatBut you know you got a mean streakMakes me run for cover when you’re aroundAnd here’s to you and your temperYes, I remember what you said last nightAnd I know that you see what you’re doing to meTell me why
You could write a book onHow to ruin someone’s perfect dayWell, I get so confused and frustratedForget what I’m trying to say, oh
I’m sick and tired of your reasonsI got no one to believe inYou tell me that you want me, then push me aroundAnd I need you like a heartbeatBut you know you got a mean streakMakes me run for cover when you’re aroundHere’s to you and your temperYes, I remember what you said last nightAnd I know that you see what you’re doing to meTell me why
Why do you have to make me feel smallSo you can feel whole inside?Why do you have to put down my dreamsSo you’re the only thing on my mind?
When I’m sick and tired of your attitudeI’m feeling like I don’t know youYou tell me that you want me, then cut me downI’m sick and tired of your reasonsI’ve got no one to believe inYou ask me for my love, then you push me aroundHere’s to you and your temperYes, I remember what you said last nightAnd I know that you see what you’re doing to meTell me why, why?Tell me why
I take a step back, let you goI told you I’m not bulletproofNow you know
