"Are you the guys on the beach that hate everything?"

"Is this some sort of hip music that I don't understand?"

I hate the rain and sunny weather
And I, I hate the beach and mountains too
And I don't like a thing about the city, no, no
And I, I, I, hate the country side too

And I hate everything about you
Everything about you

I don't like a thing about your mother
And I, I hate your daddy's guts too
I don't like a thing about your sister, no, no
'Cause I, I, I, think sex is overrated too

And I get sick when I'm around
I can't stand to be around
I hate everything about you
Everything about you, everything about you
Everything about you

Some say I got a bad attitude
But that don't change the way I feel about you
If you think all this might be bringing me down
Look again cause I ain't wearin' no frown

I don't really care about your sister
Forget the little bitch 'cause I already kissed her
One thing that I did to your lady
Put her on the bed and she didn't say maybe
I know you know everybody knows
The way it comes, the way it gonna go
You think it's sad well that's too bad
'Cause I'm havin' a ball and never cared a thing about
You

Everything about you, everything about you
I get sick when I'm around
I can't stand to be around
I hate everything about you
