[Verse 1]
You never led me to believe that I'd be with you
You never gave me reason to stay true
When people look at us, they think "She cannot love him"
"How could she love a boy who seems so cruel?"

[Chorus]
But I do, oh I do
Hurtful things seem sweet from you
And I do, oh I do, it's true
And I do, oh I do
You paint my world all black and blue
But I do, oh I do, it's you

[Verse 2]
You listen to my tears and then you ask forgiveness
You promise not to act that way again
And when you do, I hope I'm through, but I'm still waiting
Waiting for the 'I love you's to end

[Chorus]
And I do, oh I do, you paint my world all black and blue
But I do, oh I do, it's true
And I do, oh I do, hurtful things seem sweet from you
But I do, oh I do, it's you
[Bridge]
You promise me to never fall apart
You never start to say that I have reason
Finally I know I'll have to leave, but 'til I go
I pray that you might change

[Chorus]
And I do, oh I do, you paint my world all black and blue
And I do, oh I do miss you
And I do, oh I do, hurtful things sound sweet from you
But I do, oh I do, it's you

[Verse 2]
You listen to my tears and then you ask forgiveness
You promise not to act that way again
And when you do, I hope we're through, but I'm still waiting
Waiting for the 'I love you's to end

[Bridge]
You promise me to never fall apart
You never start to say that I have reason
And finally I know I'll have to leave, but 'til I go
I'll pray that you might change

[Chorus]
And I do, oh I do, you paint my world all black and blue
And I do, oh I do miss you
And I do, oh I do, hurtful things seem sweet from you
But I do, oh I do, it's you
[Outro]
I just can't help myself with you
I just can't help myself with you
I just can't help myself with you
