lyrics

need to ask a question, calling out my name
nothing seems to bother, wish i had a clue
c'mon abuse me more i like it
well i don't think you like me, well i hate you as well
no one seems to like you, wish i couldn't tell
c'mon abuse me more i like it, c'mon keep talking 'cause it's true
throw the sailors overboard
