When I get messed up at the party

I make a scene and get upset

But when I wake up in the morning

You bring me breakfast in bed and act like there's nothing to forget

Maybe I should count my blessings

That you're just that type

So call me masochistic

But sometimes I want to fight

Every time I leave, you pull me closer

I hang up the phone, you call me back

Why don't you mess me 'round like you're supposed to

You're turning me cruel 'cause I'm just wanting you to react

(You're turning me cruel 'cause I'm just wanting you to react)

If I say "Jump", you just say "How high?"

I think you might love me to death

The way you do me, boy, you're too nice

You gas me up when I wanna be losing my breath

Maybe I should count my blessings

That you're just that type

So call me masochistic

But sometimes I want to fight

Every time I leave, you pull me closer

I hang up the phone, you call me back

Why don't you mess me around like you're supposed to

You're turning me cruel 'cause I'm just wanting you to react

Looking for a little confrontation

Now I know that nice guys turn me bad

The less you do the more it makes me crazy

You're turning me cruel 'cause I'm just wanting you to react

(You're turning me cruel 'cause I'm just wanting you to react)

Every time I leave, you pull me closer

I hang up the phone, you call me back

Why don't you mess me around like you're supposed to

You're turning me cruel 'cause I'm just wanting you to react

Now I know that nice guys turn me bad

The less you do the more it makes me crazy
