But I can't stop hatin' myself, no no
Oh, sweet Lord had his mercy when he cursed me with a woman
I can't stop lovin' you baby
But I can't stop hatin' myself
She said, "Leave me alone boy
But she was the only girl
I can't stop lovin' you baby
I can't stop lovin' you baby
But I can't stop hatin' myself, no no
And I was damn sure happy bein' alone, no no
But I can't stop hatin' myself
And the preacher had stock quotes hidin' behind our weddin' notes
But I can't stop hatin' myself
And the chapel was as empty as the bust station on Sunday
And his shares were goin' down
But I can't stop lovin' you baby
And she was sad in her rented gown
And I was worthless to the bone
They were somewhere between San Fran and San Antone
I can't stop lovin' you baby
But I can't stop hatin' my, hatin' myself
But I can't stop hatin' myself, no no
Can't you see, I'm dyin' here?"
She was laughin' like a siren through the service
Baby, was a bruiser
'Cos she knew that I hated bein' alone
I can't stop lovin' you baby
She was the only girl, I had ever known
Didn't hear from her family
She was nervous and I was broke
I can't stop lovin' you baby
And I couldn't be seen
But I can't stop lovin' you baby
So I stole her sunflowers, hour before the service
As I slipped between some warm Jim Beam and my petticoat
But I can't stop hatin' myself, no no
I didn't have the courage to tell her, I was nervous
