I Started To Hate You
Dead Milkmen · Not Richard, But Dick [1993]
Trying to push something out of a pen
Don't know how, where or when
I started to hate you (x6)
It's kinda hard to explain
Your stories are never what you claim
After I played your little game
I started to hate you (x10)
You used to be my friend
All those letters that you'd send
Suddenly they stopped and then
I started to hate you (x6)
I thought you were so cool
I wished that I went to your school
Then I broke my only rule
I started to hate you (x10)
Wonder how you can be so mean
You're never really what you seem
I never was a part of your dream
I started to hate you (x10)
I hate you just go away
I hate you just stay away
Don't wanna see you today
I hate you just go away
(x2)
