L.O.V.E
Mmm
Tired of being in the when am I gon find love club
I've come close, get a dose, but it just ain't enough.
Right guy, wrong time,
Right time, wrong guy.
What's the use? Why even try?
What's the rush gettin' caught up then it's over.
Now, I'm crushed and I'm cryin' and there's no shoulder.
It plays out so different in my dream, things ain't always what they seem.
And
That's why...
I don't get all excited when somebody brings me flowers,
Ain't gon to be sittin' on my phone more than an hour.
It hurts but I still run to it.
Oh, I hate love
I hate love.
Scared of what it does to me, but I just gotta have it.
Been right in my reach but for some reason I can't grab it.
Love keeps hatin on me.
So, I hate love,
I hate love.
Don't wanna hear nobody tellin' me they needed more time.
Questionin' where I've been, all up in mine.
New guy, old lines.
Old guy, new lies.
Don't know why I even try.
What's the rush gettin' caught up then it's over.
Now, I'm crushed and I'm cryin' and there's no shoulder.
It plays out so different in my dream, things ain't always what they seem.
And
That's why...
I don't get all excited when somebody brings me flowers,
Ain't goin to be sittin' on my phone more than an hour.
It hurts but I still run to it.
Oh, I hate love
I hate love.
Scared of what it does to me, but I just gotta have it.
Been right in my reach but for some reason I can't grab it.
Love keeps hatin on me.
So, I hate love,
I hate love.
The more that I say it, the less that I mean it.
I just want somebody for me.
And the more that I see it, the more that I want it.
But I need something to make me believe.
They tell me one day it will be what the way,
But I don't want to hurt all the way.
So I'm not gon settle, cause I know better.
So understand what I say.
Ohhh
I hate
I hate love.
I hate
I don't get all excited when somebody brings me flowers,
Ain't goin to be sittin' on my phone more than an hour.
It hurts but I still run to it.
Oh, I hate love
I hate love.
Scared of what it does to me, but I just gotta have it.
Been right in my reach but for some reason I can't grab it.
Love keeps hatin on me.
So, I hate love
I hate love.
I hate
I hate love.
I can't stand what it does to me.
I hate
I hate love.
Loveeeee.
