I LOVE AND I HATE YOU THE SAME

I LOVE AND I HATE YOU THE SAME

How dare you love me, have you no shame?  I'm not just touched I'm insane.  I'm wickedly evil, a cheatin' lil' weasel, Jackass is my first and last name.  I'm Joe Dirt when I flirt, Cousin Eddie of work, I aspire to the least I can be.  I'm chronically unemployed and ambitiously viod, and my honor died mercilessly.  I smoke like a chimney, and drink like a fish, I'm a gamblin' man and also a snitch.  I'm short, fat, and bald, I don't come when I'm called, I'm likely passed out in a ditch.
I love you and I hate you the same.
I just can't put out this flame. 

I'm a low down, peckerwood, loathsome, misunderstood, weak willed, red pilled, rootin tootin, drinkin, shooting, down and dirty, 30-30, back alley clan rally, hillbilly, redneck, hick.

You're hateful and mean, birthing many mens' genes, and now youre hittin the wall. Gangly & toothless, spiteful & ruthless, you smell like meth and Pall Malls.  Stripping's behind you, bills are all past due.  You ain't nothin but a booty call.  You were ferally raised, dropped out in fifth grade, you're immune to morals, judgment, and mace.  One leg is bowed, you sound like a toad, and you use saddle soap on your face.
I love you and I hate you the same.
I just can't put out this flame. 

She's a botox, detox, skin n bones, silicone, Harper valley, mustang Sally, misfit, hypocrite, "Cops" viral hissy fit, easy, sleazy, dollar store cheesy, hillbilly, redneck, chick. 

We scream and we cuss, and we never discuss, we'd rather it come to blows.  We don't clear the air, and we never fight fair.  She stabbed me and then broke my nose.  A sight to be seen, trailer park king & queen.  We hail what brings others disgust. We're not worthy of love, from heaven above.  All we have left is the lust.  I haven't been right, since that very first night. Ol' Doc shook his head and once again said, "Penicillin just might make it right."
I love you and I hate you the same,
I just can't put out this flame.
