The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I love you, but I don't believe you
I don't know why I just don't leave you
`Cause if you treat me like you hate me
Then you don't need me do you baby
I love you, I believe you love me
I'm so happy we worked it out
But sometimes you treat me just like you hate me
I know you don't really I'm just too proud
Oh, I love you, I think you love me
If I happen to get hurt
You can be certain, you can be sure
But I will recall it word for word
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Still don't know what you're tryin` to say
Still don't know what you're sayin` to me
No, no
I may be inclined to immortalize you
That's a right I exercise
And you can sue me so you never knew me
But never for the big surprise
This is my business, it's my profession
You should`a questioned what I do
And if you mind me and treat my kindly
Then I will do the same for you
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Still don't know what you're tryin` to say
Still don't know what you're sayin` to me
No, no
What never displeased you for no reason
I would never have the nerve
But in every basic situation
You have to get what you deserve
And if you ever fuck me over
Well don't expect any guarantee
`Cause I have my music and I can use it
To say anything I please
I love you, but I don't believe you
I don't know why I just don't leave you
`Cause if you treat me like you hate me
Then you don't need me do you baby
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Still don't know what you're tryin` to say
Don't know what you're sayin` to me
No, no
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're talkin` about
Don't know what you're tryin` to say
Don't know what you're sayin` to me
No, no
