Hey Love
Stephen Lynch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love’s a cruel master
Love’s a killer
Love’s a rotten bastard
Hey love, I’m done with you
Love will break your heart
I hate loving hating love
Love’s a douchebag
Love wears Ed Hardy
Love’s a member of the Tea Party
Hey love, go fuck yourself
Love likes Nickelback
I hate loving hating love
Oooohhh, aaahhh
Love has Ann Coulter’s face
Love’s a fan of the Boston Red Sox
Love is a white guy with dreadlocks
Hey, love I can’t believe
You like Nickelback
I hate loving hating love
I la la la la la la la la
I la la la la la la la la la la
Love’s a cunt
In this song, Stephen Lynch expresses his frustration and disappointment with love. He uses harsh words and insults to describe love as a heartless and ruthless force that can potentially break one's heart. He begins by stating that love hurts and continues to compare love to a cruel master, a killer, a rotten bastard, and a douchebag. He is clearly fed up with love and tells it to go and f*** itself. The lyrics get more provocative as he goes on to describe love as wearing Ed Hardy, being a fan of Nickelback, and a member of the Tea Party. He even goes as far as saying that love has Ann Coulter's face. Stephen Lynch's sarcastic tone and playful melody add a comedic element to the song, despite the heavier emotional content.
