[Verse 1]

I never thought that you would be the one

After all the things that we've been through

You gave your body to another in the name of fun

I hope you had some, baby, if not, boo hoo


[Chorus]

It's so sad, but I hate you

Like a day without sunshine

It's so bad, but I hate you

'Cause you're all that's ever on my mind

Honey, I hate you

Now every day will be a waste of time

'Cause I hate you


[Verse 2]

I never thought that I could feel this way

To fall in love was a table reserved for fools

Say you're sorry if you want to, but it's all in vain

I'm out the door, sweet baby, that's right

We'rе through


[Chorus]

It's so sad, but I hate you

Like a day without sunshine

It's so bad, but I hatе you

'Cause you're all that's ever on my mind


[Spoken Intelrude]

This court is now in session

Will the defendant please rise?

State your name for the court... nevermind

(Billy Jack Bitch)

You're being charged with one too many counts

Of heartbreaking in the first degree

I don't give a damn about the others

My main concern is you and me

Your honor, may I call to the stand

My one and only witness?

A girl that knows damn well

She didn't have no damn business...

I know what you did, how you did it, and who you did it with

So you might as well plead guilty

'Cause you sure can't plead the fifth

Now raise your right hand

Do you swear to tell the whole truth?

Not the half truth like you used to, so help you God?

Nod your head one time if you hear me

If you don't, I'll have to use the rod

Anything to make you see, that uh, you're gonna miss me

Yeah, you're gonna miss me

If it pleases the court

I'd like to have the defendant

Place her hands behind her back

So I can tie her up tight and get into the act

The act of showing her how good it used to be

I want it to be so good she falls back into love with me

Close your eyes

I'm gonna cover your ass with this sheet

And I want you to pump your hips like you used to

And baby, you better stay on the beat

Did you do to your other men

The same things that you did to me?

Right now I hate you so much I want to make love until you see

That it's killin' me, baby, to be without you

'Cause all I ever wanted to do was to be with you


[Outro]

I hate you

(I hate you)

Because I love you

(Because I love you)

But I can't love you

(I can't love you)

Because I hate you

(I hate you)

Because I love you

I love you, baby

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you, 'cause you're all that's ever on my mind

I hate you, because I love you
