Lyrics

I Love You (But I Hate Your Friends)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I drew my name in lipstick on a mirror at your sister's house

She told me I was strange

I told her, "Thanks," and kissed her on the mouth

But you don’t go that way

I thought you had a thing for fancy boys

Looks can be deceiving

I love you

But I hate your friends

They're all desperate

If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?

All this emptiness would end

Stop pretending

If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?

Would you be ready to go?

They never liked the music

They bitch about how cool it ‘used to be’

Somehow I can’t refuse it

I dig your blatant sexuality

Oh you say I’m not that easy

I’m not sure what the hell you take me for

Honey, looks can be deceiving

I love you

But I hate your friends

They're all desperate

If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?

All this emptiness would end

Stop pretending

If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?

Would you be ready to go?

They’re always on to the next big thing

They wanna bite but they can barely sting

I never wanted you for just a fling

I hate it when you lie to me

But I just let you lie to me

I love you

But I hate your friends

They're all desperate

If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?

All this emptiness would end

Stop pretending

If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?

Would you be ready to go?

I love you

I love you

I love you

But I hate your friends

I love you

I love you

I love you

But I hate your friends
