behind the old house
 and bitch about dream
 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 block 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
