Hate to Say I Told You So Lyrics by The Hives

Veni Vidi Vicious

2000

[Verse 1]
Do what I want 'cause I can and if I don't because I wanna
Be ignored by the stiff and the bored because I'm gonna
Spit and retrieve 'cause I give and receive because I wanna
Gonna get through your head what the mystery man said because I'm gonna
[Chorus]
Hate to say I told you so
Alright, come on
Do believe I told you so
[Verse 2]
Now it's all out and you know 'cause I wanted to
Turn my back on the rot that's been planning the plot because I'm gonna
No need for me to wait because I wanna
No need two, three too late because I'm gonna
[Chorus]
Hate to say I told you so
Alright, come on
Do believe I told you so
[Verse 3]
Do what I please, gonna spread the disease because I wanna
Gonna call all the shots for the no's and the nots because I wanna
Yeah!
[Outro]
Ask me once I'll answer twice
'Cause what I know I'll tell because I wanna
Sound device and lots of ice
I'll spell my name out loud because I wanna
Oh yeah!
