I’ve never liked myself.
To me, I’m boring and useless.
So tell me, hunny,
Why do you love me?

When I look in the mirror,
All I see is plain and not pretty.
So tell me, hunny,
Why do you love me?

You always hug me close,
Kiss me softly and look in my eyes.
Tell me, hunny,
Why do you love me?

No one ever has.
I never thought anyone would.
So tell me, hunny,
Why do you love me?

The reasons don’t matter,
They aren’t important, I guess,
But tell me, please,
Why do you love me?
