I remember how we used to be You were easy to please Never a worry never a doubt We were sailing in the breeze Then somethin' came over you And it made me wonder I made up my mind and I knew what I had to do I warned you not to come around anymore ‘Cause I hate to love you I don't care if the whole world disagrees I said "beat it!" but you pleaded for more It's too late to love you Release me from these chains and set me free Let me be, ‘cause I hate to love you I was sure I'd never see you again I thought we had made it to the end But you returned to the scene of the crime You began to conjure up old times Then somethin' came over me And it made me wonder It was k**in' me, murder in the first degree I warned you not to come around anymore ‘Cause I hate to love you I don't care if the whole world disagrees I said "beat it!" but you pleaded for more It's too late to love you Release me from these chains and set me free Let me be, ‘cause I hate to love you And I don't care if the whole world disagrees Your head is tellin' you that I'm right But your heart keeps sayin' I'm wrong Then you learn that it's all a game Love can trick your mind to think you need some more But it can never be like before I warned you not to come around anymore ‘Cause I hate to love you I don't care if the whole world disagrees I said "beat it!" but you pleaded for more It's too late to love you Release me from these chains and set me free Let me be, woe! let me be, can't you see you're k**in' me ‘Cause I hate to love you I hate to love you Ooh! it's too late to love you
