LYRICS:

I feel a storm a-risin’
Thunderclouds and wind a-howlin’
I’m inside
With a fire burnin’ bright

Last night we had a fight
For the 20,000th time
Screams and tears
Now you’re a million miles from here

And now I’m alone
Everything becomes clear

U hate love
(Now I got you figured out)
U hate love
(Yeah, there is no more doubt)
You don’t believe
In l-o-v-e
Boy u hate love

Don’t know the reason why
Settled for an angry guy
U look so hot
But your soul is so cold

My friends said I was crazy
My mother can’t stand you, baby
Guess they were right
And I ain’t wastin’ no more time

Cuz when you’re alone
The truth comes to light

U hate love
(Now I got you figured out)
U hate love
(Now there is no more doubt)
You don’t believe
There’s a heaven above

U hate love
(Don’t know the reason why)
U hate love
(Settled for an angry guy)
You don’t believe
In l-o-v-e

When lightning strikes
You can always take shelter
In the good book’s words
To love one another
Sending out a prayer
To all you fake heartbreakers

If u hate love
(She’ll get you figured out)
If u hate love
(Then she’ll have no more doubt)
You don’t believe
In l-o-v-e

Don’t hate love
(She’ll find a better man)
Don’t hate love
(A man who understands)
That real love
Comes from heaven above
(Not from down below)

But u hate love
(So sad that)
U hate love
(Kinda makes me mad that)
U hate love
(But I’m still me)
U hate love
(L-o-v-e)
