I feel frustrated all the time

Over and over

Bittersweet you and me

Ain't no ways to understand

Now I believe we'll make it to the end

When you just couldn't feel.

I negotiate

Between love and hate

And it wise up just the same

Try to understand it

Feel you could comprehend

And negotiate the bail.

[Chorus]

Took a lot of love to hate you

The way I do

Took a lot of love

Whole lot of love

Whole lot of love to hate you

The way I do

Whole lot of love

Whole lot of love.

How to see regret in your eyes

Stone cold somber

Can't deny what you do to me

Hundred times I've asked of you to think of me

But what more could you do

You just couldn't hide the truth.

I compromised

To get by

To survive

You won't see me right

I give it taste

Happy overstate

Sure I'm moving on

I'll be standing strong.

[Chorus]

Took a lot of love to hate you

The way I do

Took a lot of love

Whole lot of love

Whole lot of love to hate you

The way I do

Whole lot of love

Whole lot of love.

Whole lot of love

Whole lot of love.

Whole lot of love

Whole lot of love.

Hear me

As I say

Took a whole lot of love

To feel this way

Understand that I tried

But he pushed all the love aside.

[Chorus]

Took a lot of love to hate you

The way I do

Took a lot of love

Whole lot of love

Whole lot of love to hate you

The way I do

Whole lot of love

Whole lot of love.

I negotiate

Between love and hate

I negotiate

With a whole lot of love

I negotiate

Between love and hate

And it wise up just the same.

[Chorus]

Took a lot of love to hate you

The way I do

Took a lot of love

Whole lot of love

Whole lot of love to hate you

The way I do

Whole lot of love

Whole lot of love.
