Lyrics for Hateful

Well, I got a friend who's the man (Who's the man?) What man? The man who keeps me from the lonely The only He gives me what I need (What d'you need?) What you got? I need it, oh so badly (Oh) oh, anything I want He gives it to me Anything I want He gives it but not for free It's hateful And it's painful And I'm so grateful To be nowhere This year I've lost some friends (Some friends?) What friends? I don't know, I ain't even noticed You see, I gotta get out again (Again?) My friend I gotta see that main man Yeah Oh, anythin' I want He gives it to me Anythin' I want He gives it, but not for free It's hateful And it's painful And I'm so grateful To be nowhere (nowhere) Yeah, oh-ho Yeah, oh-ho (Oh) (oh) oh, anythin' I want He gives it to me Anythin' I want He gives it, but not for free It's hateful Yeah And it's painful And I'm so grateful To be nowhere I killed all my nerves (My nerves) for what it's worth I can't drive so steady And, "Oh, really?" I've lost my memory (My mind) behind I can't see so clearly Well (oh) anythin' I want He gives it to me Anythin' I want He gives it, but not for free (It's hateful) anythin' I want He gives it to me Anythin' I want (for free) He gives it, but not for free Anythin' I want (to me) Anythin' I want
