Badlees - I Liked You Better when You Hated Yourself
We used to drink our bacardi
(alexander/welsh/badlees)
Behind the old house
And bitch about dream
We used to drink our bacardi
That would never come true
Behind the old school
Then you heard a callin’
And bitch about dreams
That I hadn’t felt
That would never come true
I liked you better
Then you heard a callin’
When you hated yourself
That I hadn’t felt
I liked you better
Now you spend lots of time
When you hated yourself
At that natural food place
Buyin’ fresh block of tofu
Now you spend lots of time
Just like mom used to make
At that natural food place
You kicked your bad habits
Buyin’ fresh blocks of tofu
You’re in perfect health
Just like mom used to make
But I liked you better
You kicked your bad habits
When you hated yourself
You’re in perfect health
But I liked you better
Change, it came a blowin’
When you hated yourself
Like we never met
Your inner child and you play games
Change, it came a blowin’
That I just don’t get
Like we never met
Somewhere it’s written
Your inner child and you play games
That this too shall pass
That I just don’t get
But lately you’ve just been
Somewhere it’s written
A pain in the ass...
That this too shall pass
But lately you’ve just been
Ask me if I care
A pain in the ass....
Well, I guess I still do
Friends don’t come easy
Ask me if I care
Even assholes like you
Well, I guess I still do
And that shrink of yours
Friends don’t come easy
She can go straight to hell
Even assholes like you
I liked you better
And that shrink of yours
When you hated yourself
She can go straight to hell
I liked you better
Last time I saw you
When you hated yourself
You were on donahue
Discussing your book
Last time I saw you
And everything you’ve been through
You were on donahue
Now you’ve got your glamour
Discussing your book
Your fame and your wealth
And everything you’ve been through
But I still liked you better
Now you’ve got your glamour
When you hated yourself.
Your fame and your wealth
But I still liked you better
When you hated yourself
