English Translation
Oh I love you I hate you
Baby it’s both
Tell me that you need me
Never mind don’t
I love you I hate you
Leave but don’t go
I don’t want you near me
Baby come close
U kill me but you keep me breathing
You’re giving me confusing feelings
Oh I love you I hate you
Baby it’s both
Gotta gotta cut u out
Gotta gotta touch u now
Gotta gotta make up up up my mind
Oh oh my god
Kinda wanna slam the door
Kinda wanna beg for more
Wanna make up up up all night
Oh u wanna make me scream
You’re so good at that
Wanna pull you close
And then push you right back
When you’re kissing me
Oh you drive me mad
Head and hearts at war
I’m down bad
Oh I love you I hate you
Baby it’s both
Tell me that you need me
Never mind don’t
I love you I hate you
Leave but don’t go
I don’t want you near me
Baby come close
U kill me but you keep me breathing
You’re giving me confusing feelings
Oh I love you I hate you
Baby it’s both
Saying I’ll run run run
Saying we’re done done done
But missin’ you when I’m all alone
Oh oh my god
Wanna just hold you tight
Wanna just say goodbye
Don’t know why I’m like this oh
Oh u wanna make me scream
You’re so good at that
Wanna pull you close
And then push you right back
When you’re kissing me
Oh you drive me mad
Head and hearts at war
I’m down bad
Oh I love you I hate you
Baby it’s both
Tell me that you need me
Never mind don’t
I love you I hate you
Leave but don’t go
I don’t want you near me
Baby come close
U kill me but you keep me breathing
You’re giving me confusing feelings
Oh I love you I hate you
Baby it’s both
