Billy Squier - If You Would Hate Me Less, I'd Love You More lyrics

Squier I'm havin' a daydream - Thinkin' of how it might have been If we had not gone and lost our way (reads like a tragedy) More than a memory - I have lost a part of me I'd only just begun to know (and it's taken such a long time) Your daggers wound me deeply But if you would hurt me less I'd soothe you more I would give myself so cheaply If you could hate me less I'd love you more Sister have mercy - come to me, take my hand I am such a long way from home (and I'm cryin' out) Love is a mystery - as the silent scream of loneliness Is ever wont to know Does suspicion rule unending If you'd only doubt me less I'd trust you more There's no use in our pretending But if you would hate me less I'd love you more Fear is the enemy - hurt and anger take their toll They leave their mark on you (they mark me too) Immune to your feelings - consciousness is blockin' the door Did I tell you you are not alone You're so anxious to condemn me But if you would judge me less I'd serve you more I don't want you to defend me But if you could hate me less I'd love you more Do you have to be so angry If you'd only ask for less I'd give you more Do you really wanna hang me If you would hate me less I'd love you more
