  • When I get messed up at the party
    I make a scene and get upset
    But when I wake up in the morning
    You bring me breakfast in bed
    And act like there's nothing to forget

    Maybe I should count my blessings
    That you're just that type
    So call me masochistic
    But sometimes I want to fight

    Every time I leave you pull me closer
    I hang up the phone, you call me back
    Why don't you mess me 'round
    Like you're supposed to?
    You're turning me cruel
    'Cause I'm just wanting you to react

    Hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey
    You're turning me cruel
    'Cause I'm just wanting you to react

    If I say jump, you just say, "how high?"
    I think you might love me to death
    The way you do me, boy you're too nice
    You gas me up, when I wanna be losing my breath

    Maybe I should count my blessings
    That you're just that type
    So call me masochistic
    But sometimes I want to fight

    Every time I leave, you pull me closer
    I hang up the phone, you call me back
    Why don't you mess me 'round like you're supposed to?
    You're turning me cruel
    'Cause I'm just wanting you to react

    Looking for a little confrontation
    Now I know the nice guys turn me bad
    The less you do, the more it makes me crazy
    You're turning me cruel
    'Cause I'm just wanting you to react

    Hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey
    You're turning me cruel
    'Cause I'm just wanting you to react

    Every time I leave you pull me closer
    I hang up the phone, you call me back
    Why don't you mess me 'round
    Like you're supposed to?
    You're turning me cruel
    'Cause I'm just wanting you to react

    Looking for a little confrontation
    Now I know the nice guys turn me bad
    The less you do the more it makes me crazy
    You're turning me cruel
    'Cause I'm just wanting you to react

    Hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey
    You're turning me cruel
