It took a few packed bags and a few slammed doors
It took a false, false smile with a septic pause
From my plastic moustache to your clip-on claws
In other words I hate you
It took a thousand fights with a thousand draws
It took a blinkered vision for a long lost cause
As Romeo leaves to light applause
And softly says I hate you
My attitude leaves a lot to be desired
My fashion sense has never been quite right
But Id rather live in drainpipes
Than with friends that Ive acquired
In so many words I hate you
Those winter nights just spent indoors
That criminal fizz in the drink he pours
We smooch all night to The Theme From Jaws
In other words I hate you
Whats yours is mine and mine is yours
A screaming for a get out clause
Heres the man with a thousand mother-in-laws
In other words I hate you
My looks leave a lot to be desired
My music taste has never been the trend
But me and Perry Como, well our patience has expired
In so many words I hate you
