I Hate U

Prince

Album: The Gold Experience



(Lyrics in parenthesis are from the long version)



I never thought that U would be the one

After all the things that we've been through

U gave your body 2 another in the name of fun

I hope U had some, baby, if not - boo hoo



1-It's so sad but I hate U

Like a day without sunshine

It's so bad but I hate U

Cuz U're all that's ever on my mind



Honey I hate U

Now every day will be a waste of time

Cuz I hate U



I never thought that I could feel this way

2 fall in love was a table reserved 4 fools

Say U're sorry if U wanna but it's all in vain

I'm out the door, sweet baby, that's right

We're through

(rpt 1)



(This court is now in session

Will the defendant please rise?

State your name 4 the court...never mind

U're being charged with one 2 many counts

Of heartbreaking in the first degree

I don't give a damn about the others

my main concern is U and me)



Your honor, may I call 2 the stand

My one and only witness?

A girl that knows damn well

She didn't have no damn business

I know what U did, how U did it and who U did it with

So U might as well plead guilty

Cuz U sure can't plead the fifth

Now raise your right hand

Do U swear 2 tell the whole truth

Not the half truth like U used 2, so help U God?

Nod your head one time if U hear me

If U don't, I'll have 2 use the rod

Anything 2 make U see, that uh, U're gonna miss me

Yeah, U're gonna miss me



(If it pleases the court

I'd like 2 have the defendant

Place her hands behind her back

So I can tie her up tight and get into the act

The act of showing her how good it used 2 be

I want it 2 be so good she falls back into love with me

Close your eyes

I'm gonna cover your ass with this sheet

And I want U 2 pump your hips like U used 2

And baby, U better stay on the beat)



Did U do 2 your other men

The same things that U did 2 me?

Right now I hate U so much I wanna make love until U see

That it's killin' me baby 2 be without U

Cuz all I ever wanted 2 do was 2 be with U

I hate U because I love U

But I can't love U because I hate U...

(ad lib to fade)
