"Self Esteem" by The Offspring (from the album _Smash_)
(intro: a cappella)
La la, la-la-la, laa la la, la-la-la laa
(Verse 1:)
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
Practiced all of the things I would say
(When) she came over, I lost my nerve:
I took her back and made her desert
I-I know, I'm being used
That's OK, man, 'cause I like the abuse
I-I know, she's playing with me
That's OK 'cause I got no self esteem
(Pre-chorus -- if you can call it that!)
Oh-h wa-ay, yeah, oh-ho-ho...(etc)...yeah!
(Verse 2:)
We make plans (to) go out at night
I wait 'till two, then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
She keeps it up I just might tell her so
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus:)
When she says, oh, that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she says, oh, that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can stand
Well I guess, I should speak up for myself
But I really think it's better this way:
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care--
Right??
Yeah-ha-ha
(Verse 3:)
While I relate this little bit,
(It) Happens more than I like to admit
Late at night, she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and lookin' to score
I-I know, I should say no, but
It's kinda hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb; I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem
(Pre-chorus, 2X)
(Chorus)
-- Mike
