'Cause I liked her smile, but the sex was bad

It's where it all went wrong

And who knows

Well it could have been good

Everybody needs someone to hate

Well I speak in riddles, and she speaks in tongue

Playing a fool, 'cause I'm acting dumb

Sign me up onto the levy

Shes not the one

Did it all for fun

Well it could have been good

Pray for me

Well I say everybody needs someone to hate
