[English]

Love, la-la-love, la-la-love how you love to hate me

Kinda sad that you always been like that

See me making waves and you don't like that

Driving through your puddles going splish, splash

(Splish, splash, splish, splash)

Stressing over nothing, baby, relax

Why you getting angry? I'ma kick back

Only thing I think about is big stacks

(Racks, racks)

Negative days, negative nights

Baby, you're wasting all your time

I can't relate, I keep it light

No, no, no drama in my life (uh)

Wake up, yeah, makeup, maybe

I need you? Nah, I been good lately

Blowin' up, workin' busy

You ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me

Love, la-la-love, la-la-love how you love to hate me

Love, la-la-love, la-la-love

You ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me

I'ma let you fade into the background

Baby, all my shows are gettin' too loud

Keep on turnin' it up when you want me down

(Me down, me down, me down)

Negative days, negative nights

Baby, you're wasting all your time

I can't relate, I keep it light

No, no, no drama in my life (uh)

Wake up, yeah, makeup, maybe

I need you? Nah, I been good lately

Blowin' up, workin' busy

You ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me

Love, la-la-love, la-la-love how you love to hate me

Love, la-la-love, la-la-love

You ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me (uh)

Love to hate me, you hate to love me

I'm takin' back what you've taken from me

You're mistaken, honey, this something that

Remind me why I be alone on my own

If I needed you, I'd have you, that I know, hold up

I could do bad by myself, don't need help

One of a kind, the hand that I was dealt, like oh well

Felt Cupid was stupid, I should have knew it

'Cause I been through it, you wouldn't do it if it ain't foolish, stupid

You ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me

Love, la-la-love, la-la-love how you love to hate me

Love, la-la-love, la-la-love

You ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me (uh)

Love, la-la-love, la-la-love how you love to hate me

Love, la-la-love, la-la-love

You ain't worth my love if you only love to hate me
