Well you call me your baby
When you're holding my hand
But the way that you hurt me
I just don't understand
Well you say that you need me
Like an ocean needs sand
But the way you deceive me
I just don't understand
Well you know that I love you
More than anyone can
But a one-sided love
I just don't understand

More than anyone can
But a one-sided love
I just don't understand
Well you call me your baby
When you're holding my hand
Oh how you can hurt me
I just don't understand
