If You Would Hate Me Less I`d Love You More — текст песни (Billy Squier)

I`m havin` a daydream
Thinkin` of how it might have been
If we had not gone and lost our way (reads like a tragedy)
More than a memory
I have lost a part of me
I`d only just begun to know (and it`s taken such a long time)

Your daggers wound me deeply
But if you would hurt me less I`d soothe you more
I would give myself so cheaply
If you could hate me less I`d love you more

Sister have mercy, come to me, take my hand
I am such a long way from home (and I`m cryin` out)
Love is a mystery, as the silent scream of loneliness
Is ever wont to know

Does suspicion rule unending
If you`d only doubt me less I`d trust you more
There`s no use in our pretending
But if you would hate me less I`d love you more

Fear is the enemy, hurt and anger take their toll
They leave their mark on you (they mark me too)
Immune to your feelings, consciousness is blockin` the door
Did I tell you you are not alone

You`re so anxious to condemn me
But if you would judge me less I`d serve you more
I don`t want you to defend me
But if you could hate me less I`d love you more

Do you have to be so angry
If you`d only ask for less I`d give you more
Do you really wanna hang me
If you would hate me less I`d love you more
