Strokes, The - Between Love & Hate Lyrics






Watched her as she wiped her eyes;
You don't make me sorry. Now I know
That you never listened - Listen.

Thinking about that high school dance
Worrying about the finals
Yes I know
You're feeling lonely
Oh lonely, so lonely.

Never needed anybody, I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody, I never needed nobody
Don't worry about it, honey
I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody, it won't change now.

Am I wrong?
Don't sing along with me.
I said I was fine,
It's just the second time
We lost the war

She'd be in the kitchen
I would start the fire
Those days are gone
But you know I can't give up - Give up.

P.S. if i may ask why
When will they get tired
We've stayed up
All night tryin' - Tryin'.

Never needed anybody, I never needed nobody
I never needed anybody, I never needed anybody
Don't worry about it, honey
I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody, it won't change now.

Am I wrong?
Don't sing along with me.
I said I was fine.
The second time
We lost the war

  31. c.... ....

    SCREAM ON THE INTERNET!!! SCREAM ON THE INTERNET!!!!!

  32. V.... B....

    I discovered this song at the perfect moment of my life. I was finishing high school and i was also in between love and hate with a girl. Love this song, puts me sad in the right way.

  33. C.... H....

    Perfect song for prom.

    C.... H....

    +Casey Hamm (SprinklesTheory) someone made a similar comment for Under Control. i found this interesting.

    C.... H....

    C.... H....

    ive been seeing ppl say "best breakup song " etc BUT consider this: best ARO/ ACE PRIDE SONG 💜💜💜💜💜

  37. E.... ....

    why did she wiped her ass?

  38. o.... p....

    Es lo mejor!

  39. Z.... R....

    Your feeling lonely oh lonely so lo-onley

  40. B.... F....

    "watch her as she wiped her ass"

    B.... F....

    @BIG FUCKING BACON Eyes, it's..eyes.

    B.... F....

    @BIG FUCKING BACON I think you're looking for the international album cover for "Is This It"

  41. J.... L....

    i never needed anybodyyyyy.... 

  42. D.... J....

    Muy buena

  43. G.... R....

    🎵Dooont siing aloong with mee🎵 sorry Julian.. I got to.

    G.... R....

    looool . cool comment

  44. N.... S....

    There is something in the way Julian sings this song, some kind of irony or sarcasm that makes me think that what he really wants to say is "fuck, I really need somebody"

    N.... S....

    puttin on the tough guy act

    N.... S....

    +Leroy Temme Exactly!

    N.... S....

    reminds me of joey badaSS -pennyroyal lol the passive aggressive

    N.... S....

    I think he's singing in a third person perspective, like a girl's mind, he does dis alot.

  45. c.... ....

    i will go on to try to explain why this song is so genius and why i love it; it combines so many elements, the intro feels like a cool hip hop/r&b beat, the it goes on to this light hearted yet nostalgic vocal verses and funky guitar arpeggio while the bass drops heavy, then the 2nd guitar drops a darker guitar strummin that changes the tonal sensation, then the guitar goes into this totally reggae hawaiin rythim, and the bass droppin faster funky rythim almost like a hip hop song again,the vocals with an undeniably catchy and charismatic "never needed anybody", then a happy bridge that fabrizio marks with a hi hat counter beat, then a fantastically original and again funky guitar solo like youve never heard,  the song is so funky and happy yet so nostalgic melow and emotional, the vocals are recorded with a dostortion effect and have moments of lou reedeske appeal.lyrics are simple yet effective.

    c.... ....

    So fucking rtrue

    c.... ....

    My man, where do I pay you?

    c.... ....

    Classic strokes I tell you, can you recommend a bad similar to this?

  46. K.... ....

    Whenever I hear this I think of the Beatles Help. "I never needed anybody's help in any way" sounds just like the chorus of this song. I feel like this song is a tribute to the Beatles and I fuckin love it!

  47. J.... J....

    But those days are gone.

    J.... J....

    +Jay Jimenez That line gets me every time.

    J.... J....

    Carlos Suarez me too, my dude. Me too.

  48. C.... G....

    M.... A....

    M.... A....

  51. D.... N....

    Literally "I never needy anybody" describes my life in high school. 

  52. F.... ....

    F.... ....

    +FrootLoop why the hate man haha

  61. C.... S....

    Reptilia, you only live once, someday, razorblade, machu picchu, ize of the world, hard to explain, take it or leave it, what ever happened, 12:51 ... to name a few

  62. d.... ....

    I would like to get some (radio)head, tell me more

  63. K.... E....

    I'd recommend, over anything, giving Radiohead a listen.

  64. K.... E....

    Might as well listen to all 5 albums; that wouldn't take too long. This is definitely my favorite album though.

  65. r.... ....

    I Think I Got Ear Aids From Having Unprotected Music Sex

    Best album, "is this it"

  67. D.... G....

    Take It Or Leave It

  68. D.... G....

    12:51
    Is This It?

  69. Z.... D....

    sure there is just listen to 'Angles' and every song on their upcoming album besides 'All the Time'

  70. J.... D....

    I love The Strokes!

  71. J.... N....

    I will sleep with with Albert Hammond any Day ! xoxoxo

  72. f.... ....

    @MusicIsLifeBmore Ear orgasm

  73. M.... ....

    nope. nadda one XD

  74. s.... ....

    im running out of space on my ipod but i still need to download some strokes. goddamit theres gotta be at least one bad song!

  75. S.... R....

    Room on fire is their best album by far, I mean it's phenomenal, every song on here is amazing, it's crazy

  76. R.... C....

    Yes I know, you're feeling lonely, Oh lonely, so lonely.

  77. K.... ....

    Remember kids, no protection necessary when listening to the strokes.

  78. K.... ....

    Second time ive lost the war, !!

  79. A.... B....

    The Strokes are just great, let's be real.

  80. r.... ....

    I like kats.

  81. B.... ....

    I already said I exaggerated, I don't think Angles is entirely shit, mediocre would be the right world, does that offend you less?

    What you said about Angles having a more complex music structure is true for the most part, but my biggest buzz, is that it all feels disjointed.

  82. o.... ....

    I just dont appreciate the fact that you comment all blasé,"oh yeah their work is utter shit" Really?! Fuck you. Everyone has a fucking opinion and thats fine and dandy. You dont have to insult them though. Music (to most people & especially musicians) is a extension of our personalities. Nonchalantly calling other peoples work shit is kinda like giving your mom the finger when she made you dinner. Just cause its not to their face doesnt mean its not rude. And I will find a pretty cock to suck.

  83. o.... ....

    Deep and shitty aren't antonyms. I didn't say it say it was deep. "deeper waters" meant more song form variants, more complex chords and progressions, better musicianship all around, and adding bits of other genres and sub-genres into the Strokes mix. "Music is subjective"? No shit Sherlocke. Albert, Jules and the gang do work and put this stuff out so we can listen to some awesomeness, and not fucking LMAFO or Katy Perry or fucking Carly Jepsen.

  84. B.... ....

    Room on Fire is very similar to Is This It, but not entirely, it's hard to see how 12:51 or The End Has No End would fit in the first.

    I might have exaggerated a bit, personally, I don't think First Impressions or Angles are shit, but they're average at best.

    First Impressions is full of incoherent lyrics and it seems like it simply doesn't know where it's going, same problem with Angles, just Angles feels disjointed, which is more obvious when you take the recording process into the equation.

    B.... ....

    Best four consecutives albums of any band of 00's

  85. m.... ....

    Listen to King Colour

  86. n.... M....

    In my opinion, there is no bad strokes song.

  87. M.... P....

    Julian didnt even really like that album either :/

  88. B.... ....

    *3 good songs

    Undercover of Darkness was the quintessential Strokes song on the album. Gratisfaction is a great tune, with its Thin Lizzy guitars and Taken for a Fool is by far their best work since Room on Fire, in fact, it's the only song in Angles that sounds fresh and new while still retaining that Strokes' hook.

    The rest IS utter shit though.

  89. S.... R....

    I do not like strokes, but this song is just amazing

  90. T.... L....

    Angles had 2 good songs. On a whole, that album blew.

  91. J.... N....

    That's MY Julian! My Propertaah!

  92. R.... B....

    I'll agree that they have declined, but think first impressions of earth was better than angles. Still, the band even admitted they didn't like angles, so the new album has to be better

  93. M.... ....

    Oh cool, I hadn't heard that yet. Thanks for the info friend.

  94. d.... ....

    theyre new album is coming out and jules says its guna be the best

  95. s.... ....

    Bob Marley's "I Know" has a lot of similarities to this song, especially rhythmically.

    Which is funny because I Know if off of Confrontation, which was said to be one of the only CD's Julian owned at the time Room on Fire was written. crazaaaayyy

  96. s.... ....

    that's a really good point to make. a song for every mood

  97. T.... ....

    Nah I love killing lies and fear of sleep! :D
