The Offspring – Self Esteem Lyrics

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But 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 man ’cause I like the abuse
Now I know she’s playing with me
That’s okay ’cause I’ve got no self-esteem
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

We make plans to go out at night
I wait ’til 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
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

When she’s saying, oh that she wants 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

Now I’ll relay this little bit
Happens more than I’d like to admit
Late at night, she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no but
It’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
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah oh yeah, yeah

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 yeah yeah
