The Badlees - I Liked You Better When You Hated Yourself lyrics

rate me

(Alexander/Welsh/Badlees)

We used to drink our Bacardi

Behind the old school

And bitch about dreams

That would never come true

Then you heard a callin'

That I hadn't felt

I liked you better

When you hated yourself

Now you spend lots of time

At that natural food place

Buyin' fresh blocks of tofu

Just like mom used to make

You kicked your bad habits

You're in perfect health

But I liked you better

When you hated yourself

Change, it came a blowin'

Like we never met

Your inner child and you play games

That I just don't get

Somewhere it's written

That this too shall pass

But lately you've just been

A pain in the ass....

Ask me if I care

Well, I guess I still do

Friends don't come easy

Even assholes like you

And that shrink of yours

She can go straight to hell

I liked you better

When you hated yourself

Last time I saw you

You were on Donahue

Discussing your book

And everything you've been through

Now you've got your glamour

Your fame and your wealth

But I still liked you better

When you hated yourself
