Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh! I'm crazy flowing over with ideas A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere? Love and hate what a beautiful combination Sending shivers up and down my spine For every Casanova that appears My sense of hesitation disappears Love and hate what a beautiful combination Sending shivers up and down my spine And the lovers that you sent for me Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee So I return them to the sender And the note attached will read How I love to hate you I love to hate you I love to hate you I love to hate you Oh you really still expect me to believe Every single letter I receive Sorry you what a shameful situation Sending shivers up and down my spine I like to read murder mystery I like to know the killer isn't me Love and hate what a beautiful combination Sending shivers make me quiver Feel it sliver up and down my spine
