CMAT describes Rodney as being “about what happens when someone you admire doesn’t respect you. The more desperate you are for their affection, the less respect you get. I wrote this when I was dealing with a person who practically hated my guts, and I started watching a lot of Rodney Dangerfield. H...
[Chorus]
Why do you hate me? Why?
Why do you hate me? Why?
Why do you hate me?
Oh, why do you hate me?
Why do you? Why do you do?
[Verse 1]
I scrambled those eggs for you
I generally did what you asked me to
I still got no respect, no
I'm the Rodney Dangerfield of your ex-girlfriend
[Chorus]
Why do you hate me? Why?
Why do you hate me? Why?
Why do you hate me?
Oh, why do you hate me?
Why do you? Why do you do?
[Verse 2]
I wrote my best jokes for you
I did my best gags 'til my face turned blue
And I never even got a laugh, no
Rodnеy's turning in his grave on my behalf
[Chorus]
Oh, why do you hate mе? Why?
Why do you hate me? Why?
Why do you hate me?
Oh, why do you hate me?
Why do you? Why do you do you?
[Bridge]
I don't wanna talk about it anymore
I don't wanna feel your face upon my floor
I gave you all I had with no returns
I thought you were my friend which makes it even worse
[Verse 3]
You shoulda left your girl for me
But then my morals are low as my self-esteem
So I guess I wish you all the best, yeah
Hope your love is as solid as the head on her chest
[Bridge]
You used to like me (Why do you hate me?)
You used to like me (Why do you hate me?)
You used to wanna spend all your time with me
Oh, you used to like me
You used to
You used to
[Chorus]
Why do you hate me? Why?
Why do you hate me? Why?
Why do you hate me?
Oh, why do you hate me?
Why do you? Why do you?
[Chorus]
Why do you hate me?
Why do you hate me? Why?
Why do you hate me?
Oh, why do you hate me?
Why do you? Why do you? Do you?
