"She Hates Me" is about the disillusionment that can come as a relationship goes on. Wes Scantlin was at the time just out of a relationship, and he wrote this, inspired from the anger. This song gives upbeat music to lyrics about his break-up. The chord progression is similar to the main chord progression in Suicidal Tendencies' "I Saw Your Mommy", which has led to accusations that Puddle of Mudd "ripped off" that song.
In the album's insert is a photocopy of each song's original hand written lyrics. It shows the original name of this song, which is "She Fucking Hates Me".
The song is featured in the movie My Super Ex-Girlfriend, and in the game Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Covers and parodies
Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine covered this as a lounge style on his 2002 album Tuxicity. Scala & Kolacny Brothers Belgian girls' choir covered this song on their 2002 album On the Rocks.
It was the subject of a parody entitled "Internet Love Song (She Blocked Me)" by Bob Ricci. This has become one of Ricci's most recognised songs.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fell in love, found out first hand
Went well for a week or two
Then it all came unglued
In a trap, trip I can't grip
Never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
Then I started to realizeI was living one big lie
She fucking hates me
Trust
She fucking hates me
La, la, la, love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away
She was queen for about an hour
After that, shit got sour
She took all I ever had
No sign of guilt
No feeling of bad, no
In a trap, trip I can't grip
Never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
Then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
She fucking hates me
Trust
She fucking hates me
La, la, la, love
I tried too hardAnd she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away
That's my story, as you see
Learned my lesson and so did she
Now it's over and I'm glad
'Cause I'm a fool for all I've said
She fucking hates me
Trust
She fucking hates me
La, la, la, love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, love
Trust
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, love
Trust
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, love
And she tore my feelings like I had none
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, love
Trust
She fucking hates me
The song "She Hates Me" by Puddle of Mudd is a sad but honest reflection on a relationship gone wrong. The lyrics describe the singer meeting a girl whom he thinks is perfect and falling in love with her, only to have the relationship fall apart after a few weeks. He confesses that he didn't think he would be the one to slip up - but ultimately he realizes he had been living a lie. In the end, he acknowledges his perceived role in the demise of the relationship, and takes comfort in the fact that it's finally over.
The song's lyrics are a reminder that relationships can be fickle, and things can go wrong even when we don't see it coming. Relationships are a two-way street, and sometimes they just don't work out. But the song also suggests that sometimes it's better to acknowledge that things aren't right and move on, rather than trying to cling to something that isn't working.

My wife of 35yrs used to play this when I came home from work, she never associated with me, during that phase. I Let her have that run of life, including a flash red sports car. But, this passed, and the family is still held together, and now we watch, and care for eight grand children. Peace be unto you.
