Do not love to hate me


from the ABC set Relationships

because
i am ugly. at least
i've got character. i got color
baby,
i got something
to give.
Be indifferent to me
instead
knowing me a fool for you
loving you more than you can know.

i'm not being fresh,
i'm being truthful
and just 'cause
i roll
it don't make me rock.

do not hate me 'cause i am
a fool,
and idiot on a pole,
hate me 'cause
i love to tell the truth
in an incredibly amusing way.
please stay
away.

tell me tell me tell me
that you love me
and i will tell you a dirty joke.
tell me tell me you hate me
and i will sling you
with a boo.

just tell me what you think of me
and i will cry for a while
cause i love you baby
more than you can know.
