Lyrics

How could you cause her such pain?
How could you love her and leave her this way?
After she gives herself to you, you stray
And after she trusts you, her trust you betray

How could you do this to her?
Turn her to stone and confirm all her fears?
River of love is now river of tears
And here?s what I say to myself in the mirror:

CHORUS
Jackass, big jerk, loser, piece of work
Jackass, scoundrel, bastard, asshole

Our love was never that strong
But I propped it up, kept it limping along
My biggest sin was to stay way too long
I never let on that anything?s wrong

(Chorus)

She cries and she hangs up the phone
She wants me back, but I must walk alone
But what can I do, if I won?t hate myself
I can hold my head high, and say to myself

I?m a jackass, big jerk, loser, piece of work
Jackass, scoundrel, bastard, asshole
