  • You say that I'm messin' with your head
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    All 'cause I was makin' out with your friend
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Love hurts, whether it's right or wrong
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    I can't stop 'cause I'm havin' too much fun
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

    You're on your knees, begging, "Please stay with me"
    But, honestly, I just need to be a little crazy

    All my life, I've been good, but now
    I'm thinking, "What the hell?"
    All I want is to mess around
    And I don't really care about
    If you love me, if you hate me
    You can't save me, baby, baby
    All my life, I've been good, but now
    Whoa, what the hell?

    What?
    What?
    What? What the hell?

    So what if I go out on a million dates?
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    You never call or listen to me anyway
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    I'd rather rage than sit around and wait all day
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Don't get me wrong, I just need some time to play
    Yeah

    You're on your knees (yeah), begging, "Please (please) stay with me" (la-la)
    But, honestly (yeah), I just need to be a little crazy (crazy)

    All my life, I've been good, but now
    I'm thinking, "What the hell?"
    All I want is to mess around
    And I don't really care about
    If you love me, if you hate me
    You can't save me, baby, baby
    All my life, I've been good, but now
    Whoa, what the hell?

    La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
    Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
    La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la
    Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
    You say that I'm messin' with your head (la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la)
    Boy, I like messin' in your bed (la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la)
    Yeah, I am messin' with your head
    When I'm messin' with you in bed

    All my life, I've been good, but now
    I'm thinking, "What the hell?" (What the hell?)
    All I want is to mess around
    And I don't really care about (I don't care about)
    All my life, I've been good, but now
    I'm thinking, "What the hell?"
    All I want is to mess around
    And I don't really care about (if you love me)
    If you love me (no), if you hate me (no)
    You can't save me, baby, baby (if you love me)
    All my life, I've been good, but now
    Whoa, what the hell?
