Self Esteem - Pickin' On Series

I wrote her off for the tenth time today

And practiced all the things I would say

But she came over, I lost my nerve

I took her back and made her dessert

Now I know I'm being used

That's okay, man, 'cause I like the abuse

I know she's playing with me

That's okay 'cause I got no self-esteem

We make plans to go out at night

I wait 'til 2 then I turn out the light

This rejection's got me so low

If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

When she's saying that she wants only me

Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

When she's saying that I'm like a disease

Then I wonder how much more I can spend

Well, I guess I should stick up for myself

But I really think it's better this way

The more you suffer

The more it shows you really care

Right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Now I'll relate this little bit

That happens more than I'd like to admit

Late at night she knocks on my door

She's drunk again and looking to score

Now I know I should say "No"

But it's kind of hard when she's ready to go

I may be dumb but I'm not a dweeb

I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem

When she's saying that she wants only me

Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

When she's saying that I'm like a disease

Then I wonder how much more I can spend

Well, I guess I should stick up for myself

But I really think it's better this way

The more you suffer

The more it shows you really care

Right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah
