Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm happy, but I'm also sad
'Cause I liked her smile, but the sex was bad
She said, "Can I ask a favor?"
I said, "I hope it's nothing major
'Cause I got things on"
That's where it all went wrong
[Verse 2]
And who knows?
Who knows?
[Verse 3]
Well, it coulda been good
Well, it coulda been great
Well, it coulda been good
But everybody needs someone to hate
Coulda been good
Well, it coulda been great
Well, it coulda been good
But everybody
[Verse 4]
Well, I speak in riddles, and she speaks in tongues
Playin' a fool, 'cause I'm actin' dumb
Situation's kinda heavy, sign me up onto the levy
She's not the one, did it all for fun
[Verse 5]
And who knows?
Who knows?
[Verse 6]
Well, it coulda been good
Well, it coulda been great
Well, it coulda been good
But everybody needs someone to hate
Coulda been good
Well, it coulda been great
Well, it coulda been good
But everybody
[Verse 7]
Hey, yeah
Great, man
Hey, yeah
Great, man, hey
Whoa, oh
[Verse 8]
'Cause it coulda been good
Well, it coulda been great
Well, it coulda been good
Well, it coulda been great
Well, it coulda been good
Well, it coulda been great
Well, it coulda been good
But it coulda been great
[Verse 9]
Well, I say everybody needs someone to hate
'Cause I said, everybody needs someone to hate
Well, I said, everybody needs someone to hate
Everybody, I said, everybody needs someone to
Someone to hate, needs someone to hate
