U have just accessed the Hate Experience

Do U wish 2 change your entry?

Very well, please enjoy your experience

I never thought that U would be the one

After all the things that we've been through

U gave your body 2 another in the name of fun

I hope U had some baby, if not, boo hoo

CHORUS:

It's so sad but I hate U like a day without sunshine

It's so bad but I hate U cuz U're all that's ever on my mind

Honey, I hate U - Now everyday would be a waste of time

Cuz I hate U

I never thought that I could feel this way

2 fall in love was a table reserved 4 fools

Say U're sorry if U wanna but it's all in vain

I'm out the door sweet baby, that's right, we're through

CHORUS

This court is now in session

Would the defendant please rise?

State your name 4 the court

Never mind (Billy Jack Bitch)

U're being charged with one 2 many counts of heartbreaking

In the 1st degree

I don't give a damn about the others

My main concern is U and me

Your honor, may I call 2 the stand my one and only witness?

A girl that know damn well she didn't have no damn business

I know what U did, how U did it and uh.. who U did it with

So U might as well plead guilty cuz U sure can't plead the 5th

Now raise your right hand

Do U swear 2 tell the whole truth

Not the half truth like U used 2 so help U God?

Nod your head one time if U hear me

If U don't, I'll have 2 use the rod

Anything 2 make U see that uh.. U're gonna miss me

Yeah, U're gonna miss me

Uh, uh, uh, oh!

If it please the court

I'd like 2 have the defendant place her hands behind her back

So I can tie her up tight and get into the act

The act of showing her how good it used 2 be

I want it 2 be so good she falls back in love with me

Close your eyes

I'm gonna cover your ass with this sheet

And I want U 2 pump your hips like U used 2

And, baby, U better stay on the beat

Did U do 2 your other man the same things that U did 2 me?

Right now I hate U so much I wanna make love until U see

That it's killin' me, baby, 2 be without U

Cuz all I ever wanted 2 do was 2 be with U ... ow!

I hate U (I hate U)

Because I love U (Because I love U)

But I can't love U (I can't love U)

Because I hate U (I hate U)

Because I love U

I love U, baby

I love U {x3}

I love U cuz U're all that's ever on my mind

I hate U because I love U
