Self Esteem

Self Esteem
La la la la la la la la la la
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
When she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her BACK and made her dessert
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay because I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
That's okay cause I've got no self esteem

Oh wayo, yeah, yeah
Ohhhhhhh, yeah, yeah (Repeat three times)
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
this rejection’s got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so
When she's saying, oh that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she saying, oh that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess, I should stick 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!
Now I'll relate, this little bit
It happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night, she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and, looking to score
Now I know, I should say no, but
That's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

When she's saying, oh that she want's only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess, I should stick 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!
La canción 'Self Esteem' de The Offspring nos cuenta la historia de alguien que constantemente es maltratado emocionalmente por su pareja, pero a pesar de ser consciente de que está siendo utilizado y despreciado, decide mantenerse en esa relación...
