[Verse 1]
Red wine like blood on the carpet
Cigarettes burn holes where my heart is
Temper, temper, you know that that''s what I like
You're just doing what you do for reaction
I don't like this hotel, you can trash it
Temper, temper, you know that that's what I like, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You start fights with everybody
I'm the one to say you're sorry
I know, we're wrong
But you're not 'round for long

[Chorus]
I only like you when you're leaving
I only like you when you're leaving
I only like you when you're leaving
I only love you when you're gone

[Verse 2]
Watch your television crash on the pavement
Push and pull, yeah that's our arrangement
Temper, temper, baby, you do what you like
Razor blades on your tongue I can taste it
Forgetting me with a permanent vacation
Temper, temper, baby, you do what you like
[Pre-Chorus]
You start fights with everybody
I'm the one to say you're sorry
I know, we're wrong
But you're not 'round for long

[Chorus]
I only like you when you're leaving
I only like you when you're leaving
I only like you when you're leaving
I only love you when you're gone
Yeah, yeah
Oh

[Bridge]
I know we're wrong (a-ya-yeah)
But I don't mind a little psycho
Temper m-mm (a-ya-yeah, a-ya-yeah, a-ya-yeah)
I know we're wrong (a-ya-yeah)
But I don't mind a little psycho
Temper, temper (a-ya-yeah, a-ya-yeah, a-ya-yeah)
Yeah, ow

[Outro]
I only like you when you're-- leaving
I only like you when you're leaving
I only like you when you're leaving
I only love you when you're gone
I only like you when you're leaving
I only like you when you're leaving
I only like you when you're leaving
I only love you when you're gone
I only love you when you're gone
