Lyrics The Stranglers

The Stranglers

I Hate You

I hate you now, I always will

And when you're dead I'll hate you still

I'll have my way, I'll make you pay

And I don't care if you suffer 'cos I know that it will surely make my day

You betrayed my trust, you ate my food

You soiled my house with your falsehood

Signs of remorse I ain't seen one

And no punishment you suffer

Will satisfy me until I have won

Oh how enjoyable, to see you squirm and wriggle now

That things ain't going your way

Oh how simply wonderful, to see you suffer badly

Now I think this dog will surely have its day (I'll have my way)

If you're infirm or merely ill

I'll be right there, in for the kill

Delicious treats which I'll enjoy

And I won't be just the only one to savour your discomfort

Oh what joy

Oh how enjoyable, to see you squirm and wriggle now

That things ain't going your way

Oh how simply wonderful, to see you suffer badly

Now I think this dog will surely have his day (I'll have my day)

I hate you now, I always will

And when you're dead I'll hate you still

I'll hate you forever, even longer than that

I'll hate you longer than radioactivity
