Gives You Hell
The All-American Rejects(올 아메리칸 리젝트) Lyrics
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
The All-American Rejects' song "Gives You Hell" is a catchy and upbeat track with a distinctly vengeful message. The singer, who is likely addressing an ex-lover, is delighting in their newfound success and happiness, hoping that the other person feels regretful and miserable about what they've lost.
The song opens with the singer waking up every evening with a big smile on his face, contrasting with the assumption that the ex-lover is still working a mundane 9-5 job. The chorus is clear and direct, stating "Hope it gives you hell" when they see his face or walk his way. The second verse takes a shot at the idea of the American Dream with its picket fences and shiny cars, suggesting that the ex-lover never seemed so tense when they were together.
The bridge shows a moment of vulnerability when the singer admits that he misses the ex-lover, though it ends with the realization that he's lying. The final chorus repeats the original sentiment, adding a final barb with "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."
Ultimately, "Gives You Hell" is a powerful anthem for anyone who's ever wanted to stick it to an ex who took them for granted or treated them poorly.

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 happy and carefree, while you are probably stuck working a boring and monotonous job, which must feel terrible.
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
I hope that whenever you encounter me, you feel regret and remorse for how you treated me.
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
Where are all the material possessions that you were so obsessed with? Did they actually bring you any happiness or fulfillment? It seems like you're struggling more than ever before and I wonder if you realize where you're at in life.
And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying
To be honest, I do miss you, but at the same time, I know that I am better off without you and I am lying to myself by thinking that I should be with you again.
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
If you do eventually end up with someone who is good to you, then it's really your loss because he'll just be wasting his time on you, and I hope you feel the pain that you made me feel.
Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on
Soon enough, you'll be questioning where everything went downhill for you, but the reasons stretch on and on and are probably too numerous to count.
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 hurt and pain that you caused me, and now that I am moving on, I don't want or need any of the memories that we shared together. Also, it's quite obvious that you feel guilty about what you did, and you can't even bring yourself to look me in the eye when we talk about it.
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
If you listen and sing along to this song, but you refuse to own up to your mistakes, then you are the one being foolish, and I am just fine without 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
I hope that this song reminds you of how you treated me and that it haunts you for a long time to come. Sing along if you want, but know that it will only make you feel worse about yourself.

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

You can sing along, I hope that it puts you through hell
