Lyrics

0:11Called you on the phone today
0:15Just to ask you how you were
0:19All I did was speak normally
0:23Somehow, I still struck a nerve
0:28You got me fucked up in the head, boy
0:32Never doubted myself so much
0:36Like am I pretty? Am I fun, boy?
0:41I hate that I give you power over that kinda stuff
0:45'Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back
0:52I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
0:58It's always one step forward and three steps back
1:03Do you love me, want me, hate me?
1:06Boy, I don't understand
1:09No, I don't understand
1:13And maybe in some masochistic way
1:17I kind of find it all exciting
1:20Like, which lover will I get today?
1:25Will you walk me to the door or send me home crying?
1:29It's one step forward and three steps back
1:34I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
1:39It's always one step forward and three steps back
1:45Do you love me, want me, hate me?
1:48Boy, I don't understand
1:51No, it's back and forth, did I say something wrong?
1:57It's back and forth, going over everything I said
2:02It's back and forth, did I do something wrong?
2:07It's back and forth, maybe this is all your fault instead
2:13It's one step forward and three steps back
2:18And I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had
2:24Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back
2:30Do you love me, want me, hate me?
2:33Boy, I don't understand
2:36No, I don't understand
Called you on the phone today
Just to ask you how you were
All I did was speak normally
Somehow, I still struck a nerve
You got me fucked up in the head, boy
Never doubted myself so much
Like am I pretty? Am I fun, boy?
I hate that I give you power over that kinda stuff
'Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
It's always one step forward and three steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
Boy, I don't understand
No, I don't understand
And maybe in some masochistic way
I kind of find it all exciting
Like, which lover will I get today?
Will you walk me to the door or send me home crying?
It's one step forward and three steps back
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
It's always one step forward and three steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
Boy, I don't understand
No, it's back and forth, did I say something wrong?
It's back and forth, going over everything I said
It's back and forth, did I do something wrong?
It's back and forth, maybe this is all your fault instead
It's one step forward and three steps back
And I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had
Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
Boy, I don't understand
No, I don't understand
