Chorus
Oh, I hate myself for being so mean to you
I just hate myself for being so mean to you
Like an eenie meanie minie mo
I broke your heart and I let you go
I hate myself for being so mean to you
I could bite my tongue for saying the things I said
I could slap my face for saying the things I said
Gonna send myself a telegram
And tell myself what a fool I am
I hate myself for saying the things I said
Oh, baby, do come back, if you come back
I’ll never make you cry
Stay away another day, and I’ll kiss myself goodbye
Gonna hide myself way down in the deep, deep blue
‘Cause I hate myself for being so mean to you
