Lyrics
[Verse]
There's a couple things I hate about myself
Things I hate about you too
You make it look like a pleasure
Make it look like a pleasure to be used
There's a couple things I hate about myself
And the way I look at you
You make it look like a pleasure
Make it look like a pleasure to be used
And I'm sick of being your substitute lover
The one you call when you need
Sick of being your substitute lover
The one you call when you need
But it feels so good
[Prechorus]
(But it feels so good)
To have somebody touch you
Somebody touch you
Somebody touch you
Oh
[Chorus]
The next time you wanna come over
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
And the next time you wanna come over
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
Beg
Beg
Beg
Beg
[Verse 2]
There's a couple things I like about myself
But I'm still working on that
When you're here
I pretend I like myself
I'm so good at pretend
I hope that one day I like myself
And I can let you know that
But 'til then
I will pretend I like myself
And that's that
[Chorus]
So the next time you wanna come over
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
And the next time you wanna come over
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
Beg
Beg
Beg
Beg
[Bridge]
Beg
Beg
Beg
Beg
There's a couple things I hate about myself
Things I hate about you too
You make it look like a pleasure
Make it look like a pleasure to be used
There's a couple things I hate about myself
And the way I look at you
You make it look like a pleasure
Make it look like a pleasure to be used
And I'm sick of being your substitute lover
The one you call when you need
Sick of being your substitute lover
The one you call when you need
But it feels so good
[Prechorus]
(But it feels so good)
To have somebody touch you
Somebody touch you
Somebody touch you
Oh
[Chorus]
The next time you wanna come over
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
And the next time you wanna come over
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
Beg
Beg
Beg
Beg
[Verse 2]
There's a couple things I like about myself
But I'm still working on that
When you're here
I pretend I like myself
I'm so good at pretend
I hope that one day I like myself
And I can let you know that
But 'til then
I will pretend I like myself
And that's that
[Chorus]
So the next time you wanna come over
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
And the next time you wanna come over
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
I want you to beg
Beg
Beg
