Just to let you know that I hate your guts And I think you suck I hate the way you look You make me sick I hate the way you talk I wanna punch you in the face I can't stand you at all You drive me insane Why won't you go away? Why They're Insulting: The singer hates the person they are talking to so bad they want to do physical harm to them. I don't know about you, but if anyone sang this to me, I would go home and cry.
