Lyrics I Hate Myself - The Pretenders

I Hate Myself

I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
For being jealous
I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
For thing that you can’t see
I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
For using other fellows
To blindside you to get inside of me
Believe me I’m not saying that I’m proud
To undermine and sabotage your scene
I wouldn’t want to say some things out loud
But everybody does it and you know what I mean
I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
For backing the wrong horse
I hate myself, I hate myself
I hate my masquerade of black and blue
I hate myself, I hate my reckless
And self-destruction course
And coming last conceding second best to you
And if on judgement day I’m told to make my way
To take a blasting residence downstairs
I look to see your fathers, who backstab their own brothers
Got a lighter sentence showing mercy and repentance
I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
I guess I’m just too smart
I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself
In body and in mind
I hate myself, I hate myself
I hate these perversions of the heart
I hate myself up front
I hate myself from behind
So take my hand
To the witness stand
I deserve the worst
My heart is gonna burst
So validate me hate me where it hurts
I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
I hope that you do too
I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
I hate myself
But most of all I hate myself
Hating you
