Hate to Love You

I'm just a prisoner of your love

You got me lip-locked, fire the gun, oh

If I escaped you, I would be lost (hey)

So don't bail me out, babe, I'll pay the cost, oh

Uh, see it ain't that sunny, spent my money

Sweet as a felony, ain't you, honey?

I can hear the gripes, but I'm wearing stripes

Look up at the stars and I gotta think twice

Oh, all of the fighting

Oh, keeps it exciting

I'm doing time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time, it's a real fight, but it's alright

Sometimes I just hate to love you

You cuffed me up and treated me cold

I threw the key out long time ago, oh

If you released me, I wouldn't leave, no

So don't feed me poison, I gotta eat, oh

Yo, be my cellmate, plan our escape

Tell me when you're ready, we can storm the front gate

Through the jail keeper, real deep sleeper

No big deal, just misdemeanor

Oh, all of the fighting

Oh, keeps it exciting

I'm doing time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time, it's a real fight, but it's alright

Sometimes I just hate to love you

See, I don't need the bars to lock me in

You can let your guard down 'til the end

Forever doesn't happen overnight

And that's why

I'm doing time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

I'm doing time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time but I don't mind, I'll be just fine

Sometimes I just hate to love you

I'm doing time, it's a real fight, but it's alright

Sometimes I just hate to love you
