Loving What You Hate

Joan Armatrading


Sometimes you look in the mirror
Pin point every flaw on your face
You say you need so many things to change
Need that beach body
That perfect shape
But as you walk away  
I’m loving those things that you hate

I’m loving what you hate
Your brown eyes
I’m loving what you hate
You’re to shy
I’m loving what you hate
How you trust everyone
I’m loving  you
And I’m loving what you hate

In awkward moments
You grab my hand for support
You hate you looked so innocent
How you laugh when your embarrassed
You hate the way you talk
Could I love you more
I’m loving those things that you hate

I’m loving what you hate
Your brown eyes
I’m loving what you hate
You’re to shy
I’m loving what you hate
How you trust everyone
I’m loving  you
Yea I’m loving what you hate

And as we walked round the neighbourhood
You talk to strangers
There is nothing I could hate about you now
Not for a moment
You are just what I’m looking for
Everything about you is what I want
You are just what I’m looking for
Everything about you

Early on
As I got to know you
I noticed little things that I loved about you
The way you smile
How you cherished  the simple things
You dance to no music
You love the rain
I’m so in love with you
I love everything about you.

I’m loving what you hate
Your brown eyes
I’m loving what you hate
Your to shy
I’m loving what you hate
How you trust everyone
I’m loving  you
Yea and I’m loving what you hate
