7 Things

Miley Cyrus · Can't Be Tamed [Cd / Dvd Combo] [Deluxe Edition] [2010]

I probably shouldn't say this

But at times I get so scared

When I think about the previous

Relationship we shared

It was awesome but we lost it

It's not possible for me not to care

And now we're standing in the rain

But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear

My dear



The seven things I hate about you

The seven things I hate about you

Oh you

You're vain, your games

You're insecure

You love me, you like her

You make me laugh

You make me cry

I don't know which side to buy

Your friends they're jerks

When you act like them

Just know it hurts

I wanna be with the one I know

And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do

You make me love you



It's awkward and silent

As I wait for you to say

What I need to hear now

Your sincere apology

When you mean it I'll believe it

If you text it I'll delete it

Let's be clear

Oh, I'm not coming back

You're taking seven steps here



The seven things I hate about you

You're vain, your games

You're insecure

You love me, you like her

You make me laugh, you make me cry

I don't know which side to buy

Your friends they're jerks

When you act like them

Just know it hurts

I wanna be with the one I know

And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do

You make me love you



And compared to all the great things

That would take too long to write

I probably should mention the seven that I like



The seven things I like about you

Your hair, your eyes

Your old Levis

When we kiss I'm hypnotized

You make me laugh, you make me cry

But I guess that's both I'll have to buy

Your hand in mine

When we're intertwined

Everything's alright

I wanna be with the one I know

And the seventh thing I like the most that you do

You make me love you



You do, oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh oh

7 Things

Released in 2010 on Miley Cyrus's debut studio album Can't Be Tamed, '7 Things' stands as a defining track of her transition from Disney's Hannah Montana to a more mature pop artist.

As a centerpiece of the album, it showcases Cyrus's evolving vocal range and songwriting capabilities, establishing her credibility in the mainstream pop landscape. The track remains a staple of her discography, often cited as a key moment in her career trajectory toward a more adult-oriented sound.
