[Intro]
Nobody ever loved you
The way I loved you then
Nobody ever touched me
The way you touched me then
Well it took so long
But I found out
What cheated love is all about
Nobody's gonna love you
Nobody's gonna love you
The way I hate you now
[Verse 1]
I heard you went to the city
You told me that couldn't go out
You said that he wouldn't be there
That's two things that you're lying about (Ah! Gotcha)
You must think I'm a bit stupid
It turns out I'm a little bit smart
I put the pieces together
All you did was tear 'em apart
[Chorus]
Nobody ever loved you
The way I loved you then
Nobody ever touched me
The way you touched me then
Well it took so long
But I found out
What cheated love is all about
Nobody's gonna love you
Nobody's gonna love you
The way I hate you now
Ah-ow, ah-ow, ah-oh-oh-oh
The way I hate you now
Ah-ow, ah-ow, ah-oo-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
And then I start to get goose bumps
Feel the shivers all up my spine
He's got a beautiful body (Dude)
Just the kind of body you like
I'm looking into the mirror
Peeping at my trembling face
I guess I can't even blame you
It's just the fickle finger, just the fickle finger of fate
[Pre-Chorus]
Better watch your back
You better watch your back
Come on, gonna get you back
Gonna get you back, gonna get you back
[Chorus]
Nobody ever loved you
The way I loved you then
Nobody ever touched me
The way you touched me then
Well it took so long
But I found out
What cheated love is all about
Nobody's gonna love you, gonna love you
The way I hate you now
Ah-ow, ah-ow, ah-oh-oh-oh
The way I hate you now
Ah-ow, ah-ow, ah-oo-oh-oh
[Solo]
