Called you on the phone today

Just to ask you how you were

All I did was speak normally

Somehow I still struck a nerve

You got me missed up in the head, boy

Never doubted myself so much

Like, am I pretty Am I fun, boy

I hate that I give you power over that kinda stuff

Cause it's always one step forward and three steps back

I'm the love of your life until I make you mad

It's always one step forward and three steps back

Do you love me, want me, hate me? Boy, I don't understand

No, I don't understand

And maybe in some masochistic way

kind of find it all exciting Like,

which lover will I get today

will you walk me to the door or send me home crying

it's one step forward and three steps back

I'm the love of your life until I make you mad

It's always one step forward and three steps back

Do you love me, want me, hate me? Boy, I don't understand

No, it's back and forth did I say something wrong

It's back and forth going over everything I said

It's back and forth did I do something wrong

It's back and forth maybe this is all your fault instead

it's one step forward and three steps back

And I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had

Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back

Do you love me, want me, hate me? Boy, I don't understand

No, I don't understand
