Neon Trees - I Love You (But I Hate Your Friends) Lyrics






I drew my name in lipstick on a mirror at your sister's house
She told me I was strange, I told her, "Thanks," and kissed her on the mouth
But you don’t go that way
I thought you had a thing for fancy boys
Looks can be deceiving

I love you
But I hate your friends
They're all desperate
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
All this emptiness would end
Stop pretending
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
Would you be ready to go?

They never liked the music
They bitch about how cool it ‘used to be’
Somehow I can’t refuse it
I dig your blatant sexuality
Oh you say I’m not that easy
I’m not sure what the hell you take me for
Honey, Looks can be deceiving

I love you
But I hate your friends
They're all desperate
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
All this emptiness would end
Stop pretending
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
Would you be ready to go?

They’re always on to the next big thing
They wanna bite but they can barely sting
I never wanted you for just a fling
I hate it when you lie to me
But I just let you lie to me

I love you
But I hate your friends
They're all desperate
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
All this emptiness would end
Stop pretending
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
Would you be ready to go?

I love you [3x]
But I hate your friends

I love you [3x]
But I hate your friends

  54. E.... R....

    The video is weirder than a FOB video but I'm 110% okay with that

  55. B.... ....

    the banana part is so hilarious to me for some reason. probably because the majority of popular bands/artists don't bother to put something like that in their videos.

  56. M.... Z....

    ave maria eu amo d+ neon trees alguem me ajud

  57. M.... G....

    maybe I should change the date and time on my phone back to the 80s cause that's what this video is

    Neon Trees is a really good band, greetings from México, you're awesome guys. :D

  63. n.... ....

  64. G.... W....

    the flamboyant over load is so maddening that i dare say it makes the song better

  65. R.... o....

    I remember when I first listened to Animal. This band really has the energy, lyics, openness and fashion some wish to have. Just love them.

  66. K.... ....

    EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN I SEE 50% BRENDON URIE

  67. I.... P....
