 I  hate the arsehole  I become
 Everytime I'm  with you
 You  know you've got  me on the run
 But let me make it clear  to you
 It's taken  two fools such  as we
 To make love  deaf, dumb and blind
 Now you're  upset 'cos I  can't read your mind  love
 You're upset  'cos I can't  read your mind
 I  hate the arsehole  I become
 Everytime I'm with  you
 I get  the feeling looking  in your eyes
 That somehow I should  forgive you
 I know  that I'm guilty  but I don't  know what I've done
 You're not  about to let  me join in the fun  are you
 You're not  about to let  me join in the fun
 I hate  the arsehole  I become
 Everytime I'm  with you
 I hate  the way you try  to give me back
 All the things I give  to you
 I know  when I leave  the room
 They say  what's up with him
 But love  is not a game  you play to win  girl
 Love  is not a game  you play to win
 
 If that face  of yours could only  talk
 The stories  it could tell
 The chase  is always better  than the kill,  love
 The chase  is always better  than the kill
