Like it or not I love you And babe that ain't gonna change I had good intentions with each bad decision And a longing that I can't explain Now I'd never blame you for dreaming Or thinking about an old flame Real or imagined, I'm used to this pattern Of true love turning to pain But I got no use for pretending Or throwing a good thing away Cause like it or not I love you And darlin' that's how I'll stay I might as well confess it I'm spellbound for better or worse Here at your mercy, have me or hurt me Guess I'm just blessed with this curse Like it or not I love you Babe that ain't gonna change I had good intentions with each bad decision And a longing that I can't explain It's a longing that I can't explain
