Joan Jett and the Blackhearts – I Hate Myself For Loving You

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts – I Hate Myself For Loving You – Nissan Live Sets, 2008.

35 years old song, still better than a lot of what is coming up now!
The 80s was the golden age of rock. And Joan Jett made inroads for women in rock! Still as pretty as ever. The hair, the clothing, the voice, the attitude! She’s got it all!

Lyrics:
Midnight, gettin’ uptight, where are you?
You said you’d meet me, now it’s quarter to two
I know I’m hangin’ but I’m still wantin’ you

Hey Jack, it’s a fact they’re talkin’ in town
I turn my back and you’re messin’ around
I’m not getting jealous, don’t like lookin’ like a clown

I think of you every night and day
You took my heart, and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can’t break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That’s why I hate myself for loving you

Daylight, spent the night without you
But I’ve been dreamin’ ’bout the lovin’ you do
I’m over being angry ’bout the hell you put me through

Hey man, bet you can’t treat me right
You just don’t know what you was missin’ last night
I wanna see you beggin’, say, “Forget it” just for spite

I think of you every night and day
You took my heart, and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can’t break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That’s why I hate myself for loving you

I think of you every night and day
You took my heart, and you took my pride away

I hate myself for loving you
Can’t break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That’s why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you
Can’t break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That’s why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself (ow, uh)
For loving you
I hate myself (ow, uh)

For loving you
I hate myself (ow, ow, ow)

For loving you
I hate myself (ow)
I hate myself
For loving you
