I hate loving you.
But everytime
You ask me another question
My mouth won’t close
Because maybe if
I told you just one more thing about me.
Just one more thing.
You’d love me too.

My mouth won’t close
Why do I love you?

Elaborate here. Hate is vague, and could possibly be replaced, but more important would be the addition of a line here that shows how much you hate it. What is comparable to that annoying feeling that you cannot get rid of? Mosquitoes?
But everytime
You ask me another question
What kind of question? Instead of vaguely mentioning a question, use a specific, and give a sample response below, instead of "my mouth won't close". Make it a generic question, like "Can you move down a seat?" and give an awkward response like "Sure, I love your shoes"... or something better...
My mouth won’t close
Because maybe if
I told you just one more thing about me.
Just one more thing.
You’d love me too.

and bring cups of hot chocolate to the table
while you shuffle the deck.
and our boots stand dripping by the door.
