You, you don't like my hair
You don't like what I wear
I'm trying, trying, you see, I'm trying
While you try to change me all the time

You, you say I talk too much
I know it drives you nuts
You tell me you wish
I was better, better, yeah
You roll your eyes forgetting I am in the room

You're hurting me now
You take me down and you don't even know it
You think it's a joke
But, baby, you don't, you don't even notice

You're hurting me now
You take me down and you don't even now it
You think it's a joke
But, baby, you don't, you don't even notice

You, you say I sing too loud
I want you to be proud
I want you screaming out:
"that girl is mine, I love her, love her"
But you've already tuned me out

You, you know these words you say
Are causing us decay
You feel I am withdrawing, I am running away
You're pushing, you're pushing me...

You're hurting me now
You take me down and you don't even know it
You think its a joke
But, baby, you don't, you don't even notice

Don't want you to blow it
You're hurting me
I know you don't know it
Don't want you to blow it
You're hurting me
I know you don't know it
Don't want you to blow it
You're hurting me
I know you don't know it
Don't want you to blow it
You're hurting me
I know you don't know it

You're hurting me now
You take me down and you don't even know it
You think it's a joke
But baby you don't, you don't even notice
