(Bob DiPiero, Holly Lamar) I see it in your eyes You look so surprised Two blue flames burning up with love You finally met your match No more holding back Well I been waiting for this day to come If I had only known Chorus You like me better when I'm leaving Like me better when I'm going Like me better unavailable You like me better when I'm ticked off Ripped up, engines on and I'm slamming out the door Took some time to figure out But I finally get it now You like me better when I'm leaving The minute that I storm out You say you're reformed now Baby it's high time you seek some help Now we're on the couch To pull those demons out And own up to how you sabotage yourself Cause I know you love me but Repeat Chorus I thought I was unlovable I thought it was all my fault I was oblivious to your twisted logic But now I've got it Chorus You like me better when I'm leaving Like me better when I'm going Like me better unavailable You like me better when I'm ticked off Ripped up, engines on and I'm slamming out the door You like me better when I'm leaving Like me better when I'm going Like me better unavailable You like me better when I'm ticked off Ripped up, engines on and I'm slamming out the door Took some time to figure out But I finally get it now
