[Verse 1]

I'm no Barbie doll

I'm not your baby girl

I've done ugly things

And I have made mistakes


[Pre-Chorus 1]

And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines

I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed

So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word?

Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud


[Chorus]

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

It's driving me crazy

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

It's driving me crazy

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

It's driving me crazy

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?


[Verse 2]

You're not some little boy

Why you acting so surprised?

You're sick of all the rules

Well, I'm sick of all your lies


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Now I've held back a wealth of shit, I think I'm gonna choke

I'm standing in the shadows with the words stuck in my throat

Does it really come as a surprise when I tell you I don't feel good?

Nothing ever came from nothing, man

Oh man, ain't that the truth


[Chorus]

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

It's driving me crazy

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

It's driving me crazy

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

It's driving me crazy

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?


[Post-Chorus]

I get back up and I do it again

I get back up and I do it again

I get back up and I do it again

I get back up and I do it, I do it again


[Bridge]

I think you're sleeping with a friend of mine

I have no proof but I think that I'm right

And you've still got the most beautiful face

It just makes me sad most of the time


[Breakdown]

I get back up and I do it again

I get back up and I do it again

I get back up and I do it again

I get back up and I do it

I do it again

Do it again

Do it again

Do it again


[Chorus]

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

It's driving me crazy

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

It's driving me crazy


[Outro]

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?

Why do you love me?
