Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably working
At a nine to five pace
I wonder how bad that tastes
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Now where's your picket fence love
And where's that shiny car
And did it ever get you far
You never seemed so tense love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are
And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on
And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can't look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song and you sing along but you never tell
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song
I hope that it will treat you well
You can sing along
I hope that it puts you through hell
"All American Rejects's song gives you hell" is an emotionally charged song about a former lover who has moved on with their life and left the singer behind. The song starts off saying that the singer wakes up every evening with a big smile on their face while they know their ex-lover is still working at their nine to five job. They can't help but think about how bad the taste of their former lover must be, knowing that they've moved on and are happy without them.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's desire for their ex-lover to feel the pain of leaving them behind by hoping that their face and their presence gives them hell. The second verse of the song describes how the singer misses their ex, but they're lying to themselves and to their ex by trying to move on. The bridge talks about how the ex-lover is never going to see the pain they've caused the singer or how their lies have affected them.
The chorus of the song repeats itself several times, each time adding a different insult to the ex-lover. In the end, the song closes by telling the ex-lover that they're the fool for not being able to see what they've done to the singer.

I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably working
At a nine to five pace
I wonder how bad that tastes
I am living my best life and taking it easy, while you are probably stuck in your boring work routine. I can only imagine how unsatisfying it must be for you.
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Seeing me happy and successful should make you feel upset and regretful for whatever you did to me in the past. I hope my mere presence ruins your day.
Now where's your picket fence love
And where's that shiny car
And did it ever get you far
You never seemed so tense love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are
You used to have this picture-perfect life, with a white picket fence and a nice car, but it seems like it didn't bring you much happiness. You're clearly not doing so well now, and I find it quite amusing that you seem to have lost your way.
And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying
I do have some feelings for you still, but honestly, I'm lying to myself and maybe to you too. I'm just saying this because it's easier than admitting the truth.
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Even if you do find someone else who treats you right, it won't make up for what you did to me. And honestly, anyone who dates you is a fool just like you are.
Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on
You'll wake up one day and wonder how everything fell apart for you. But the truth is, there were so many things that went wrong, it's hard to pinpoint just one.
Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can't look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well
You will never fully understand or acknowledge the pain you caused me. I don't want to hold onto any memories of you, and I can see right through the lies you tell yourself and others. Your constant pity party and sad demeanor don't fool me.
When you hear this song and you sing along but you never tell
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well
Hope it gives you hell
When you listen to this song and nod along, but don't admit that it's about you and how poorly you treated me, you're only fooling yourself. I'm doing just fine now, and I hope that thought torments you.
When you hear this song
I hope that it will treat you well
You can sing along
I hope that it puts you through hell
When you listen to this song, I hope it serves as a reminder of what you did to me and makes you feel guilty. Singing along might make you feel better temporarily, but ultimately, I hope it leaves you feeling more miserable.

Lyrics For Me to Sing
I wake up every evenin'
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably workin'
At a nine to five pace
I wonder how bad that tastes
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
Now, where's your picket fence, love?
And where's that shiny car?
And did it ever get you far?
You never seemed so tense, love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?
And truth be told, I miss you (I miss you)
And truth be told, I'm lyin'
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Tomorrow you'll be thinkin' to yourself
Yeah, where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on
And truth be told, I miss you (I miss you)
And truth be told, I'm lyin'
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell
Now, you'll never see what you've done to me
You can take back your memories, they're no good to me
And here's all your lies, you can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look that you wear so well
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well, hope it gives you hell
When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song and you sing along, but you never tell (but you never tell)
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well, hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song, I hope that it will give you hell (hope it gives you hell)
You can sing along, I hope that it puts you through hell
