“Say You Hate Me”
“Say You Hate Me”
7/21/2000
Throw a dirty look,
Pierce me with those browns,
Fold your arms across your chest
And flash a painful frown.
Say goodbye to all my friends
And pretend that I don’t live.
All because I wouldn’t leave her
And give to you my love.
Say you hate me.
Beat me.
If that’s what it takes
To hurt me.
I’ll never leave the girl I love
For someone to be used by.
Even if your love was pure
I wouldn’t leave. I cannot lie.
If I should be sorry
‘Cause I do not love your face-
I can’t be charged as guilty
Since my love is placed
On a girl who shares my life
And, unlike you, may one day
Actually be my wife.
