(Alexander/Welsh/Badlees) 
 
We used to drink our Bacardi  
Behind the old school  
And bitch about dreams  
That would never come true  
Then you heard a callin'  
That I hadn't felt  
I liked you better  
When you hated yourself 
 
Now you spend lots of time  
At that natural food place  
Buyin' fresh blocks of tofu  
Just like mom used to make  
You kicked your bad habits  
You're in perfect health  
But I liked you better  
When you hated yourself 
 
Change, it came a blowin'  
Like we never met  
Your inner child and you play games  
That I just don't get  
Somewhere it's written  
That this too shall pass  
But lately you've just been  
A pain in the ass.... 
 
Ask me if I care  
Well, I guess I still do  
Friends don't come easy  
Even assholes like you  
And that shrink of yours  
She can go straight to hell  
I liked you better  
When you hated yourself 
 
Last time I saw you  
You were on Donahue  
Discussing your book  
And everything you've been through  
Now you've got your glamour  
Your fame and your wealth  
But I still liked you better  
When you hated yourself
