I don't know why,   Why I even try   The hours turn to days,   They just keep on rolling by   Now it doesn't really look like   it's ever gonna change at all      You're so kind,   But at times you seem so cruel   Maybe I was blind,   You're an exception to the rule   Tell me why I waste my time   by the phone   waiting for your call      And I know that   I'm not any better   When I see her   I've got to get her   I couldn't blame her   if I thought she knew   About all the bad things that I do      Would I wanna be around me if I wasn't me?      All I want is to   have a laugh or two   Tell me why,   Why it shouldn't be with you   Well I guess that there are   times when it's   not a joke after all      So maybe I was wrong,   I didn't care about being right   We only live so long,   Why not embrace each day and night   Well at least that's what I thought   and it's possible that I still do      And I know that I'm not any better   When I see her I've got to get her   I couldn't blame her if I thought she knew   About all the bad things that I do      Would I wanna be around me   if I wasn't me?      Well maybe it's my,   my own double standard   I look for the best   but I act like the worst   I know I'm not the first   I'm not the only   one who acts like this      I don't know why,   Why you would even try   Can't you see, That you're   just not right for me   But maybe there's a chance   that it's gonna change after all      And I know that I'm not any better   When I see her I've got to get her   I couldn't blame her   if I thought she knew   About all the bad things that I do      Would I wanna be around me   if I wasn't me?
