Lyrics[]
The hell of it is
I can't stand you around
The hell of it is
I've had enough
The hell of it is
You make me wanna scream
The hell of it is
You never do things just because
That I can watch you leave
Take your coat and your keys
And I wouldn't care where you go
But the hell of it is
I love you even when I don't
I love you even when I don't (x2)
Oh the hell of it is
I love you even when I don't
The hell of it is
I could do without your friends
The hell of it is
You got more pride than sense
The hell of it is
By myself I'd be just fine
The hell of it is
I would know that in this life
That I love you even when I don't
I love you even when I don't
Oh the hell of it is
That I love you even when I don't
The parts of you I hate
Are the reasons why I stay
I'd rather live with my mistakes
Honey say you'll do the same
'Cause I love you even when I don't
I love you even when I don't
Oh the hell of it is
That I love you even when I don't
I love you even when I don't
(x2)
Oh the hell of it is
That I love you even when I don't
Yeah the hell of it is
That I love you even when I don't
