Lyrics
Why do we fight and then make up?
We make love; then we break up, (ooh ooh)
It's a never ending push and pulling thing we've got,
Are we trying to make it something that it's not?
I love you........oooh...But I hate you......I love you but I hate you!
I know just what to call it; I know this thing we've got,
It's a Love - Hate Thing,
I won't cry about it; it won't take a lot,
I get this Love - Hate Thing
You only call me when you're lonely and you need somebody,
Hey Baby please, two can play that game,
There's no doubt about it, I can give it out,
In this Love - Hate Thing
Does it feel right, to fake it?
To take someone's heart and then break it, (ooh ooh)
I have to stop this rollercoaster ride were on,
Redefining what we've got, can only make me strong!
I love you........oooh...But I hate you......I love you but I hate you!
(Repeat Chorus)
(Adlib Ending)
