I Liked You Better When You Hated Yourself

Badlees

we used to drink our bacardi



behind the old house



and bitch about dream



that would never come true



then you heard a callin'



that i hadn't felt



I liked you better



when you hated yourself



now you spend lots of time



at that natural food place



buyin' fresh block of tofu



just like mom used to make



you kicked your bad habits



you're in perfect health



but i liked you better



when you hated yourself



change, it came a blowin'



like we never met



your inner child and you play games



that i just don't get



somewhere it's written



that this too shall pass



but lately you've just been



a pain in the ass...



ask me if i care



well, i guess i still do



friends don't come easy



even assholes like you



and that shrink of yours



she can go straight to hell



i liked you better



when you hated yourself



last time i saw you



you were on donahue



discussing your book



and everything you've been through



now you've got your glamour



your fame and your wealth



but i still liked you better



when you hated yourself.
