I think about every night and day

Midnight gettin' uptight, Where are you? You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you. Hey Jack, It's a fact they're talkin' in town I turn my back and you're messin' around I'm not really jealous, don't like lookin' like a clown. I think of you every night and day You took my heart and you took my pride away. I hate myself for loving you Can't break free from the the things that you do I wanna walk but I run back to you That's why I hate myself for loving you. Daylight spent the night without you But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through.
