Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la

He might give me such a scar
Don't mean I'll remember why or how big was the knife
Said some trite "I hate you!" crap
Buddy, only got so much time to spare, wrap it up
They try talkin' nasty but only you've grabbed me (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ah)
And that's what I want (that's what I want)
You hate me, hate me, hope you'll save me
From all these dime-a-dozen nemeses, I've got the a-one

Last night, I laid there black and blue
But it's still the gospel truth, they can't punch me like you
And I've not been searchin' for dudes
They've all yet to gain a clue, can't punch me like you
Ah

All the fightin' I could want
Only needs to come from one and it's you that claim is on
At my throat since we were boys
How it started, I don't have any plans to work out that
No-one else can stab me metaphor-like gladly (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ah)
And that's what I want (that's what I want)
Come save me, save me from these crazy
Wannabe rival morons, always be my number one

Last night, you laid there black and blue
Because you share the same truth, they can't punch me like you
Don't try to find replacements, you
Want this fight between just two, can't punch me like you
Sha-la-la-la (ooh-whoo-ooh-ooh), sha-la-la-la (oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Sha-la-la-la (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh), can't punch me like you
Sha-la-la-la (ooh-whoo-ooh-ooh), sha-la-la-la (oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Sha-la-la-la (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh), can't punch me like you

H-A-T-E, hate the way they think they get me
Not just angry, boy, in a generic way
H-A-T-E, hate is what you're givin' to me
When you're with me, boy, I want it ev'ry day

Last night, I laid there black and blue
Wouldn't change that, simple truth, they can't punch me like you
It might sound kinda like abuse (ooh-whoo-ooh-ooh)
Not one-sided, I fight too, can't punch me like you
H-A-T-E, hate is what you're givin' to me (last night, you laid there black and blue)
I'm not just angry, boy, in a generic way (nasty hit with a pool cue, they can't punch me like you)
H-A-T-E, hate is what you're givin' to me (but I can't wait until round two)
H-A-T-E (more like round hundred and two), can't punch me like you
