The One Thing I Hate Lyrics

Oh, there's so many things that I don't like

I'm not pleased with mosquitos when they bite

Don't want to go out swimming with the shark

Or meet an angry grizzly in the park

But I know there are things that hurt you hard

And people who have left you in the dark

What people like that do, it's not OK

And there's one thing I really hate today

Some people think that I'm a happy man

It's not always so, but there's times that I am

There's plenty of stuff that I know ain't right

And sometimes it'll keep me up for half of the night

But if I got lucky, it's because of you

If you look into my eyes, then you can tell that it's true

And if I'm mad, I hope you understand

The one thing I hate is to see you sad

I know sometimes that the rain must fall

I'm not a Pollyanna 'bout it all

But if my love can help to lift your heart

Well, maybe then my life is not for naught

Well, I don't like volcanoes that explode

And bury Romans in the lava flow

Tornadoes scare the crap right out of me

I'm sure there's very few who'd disagree

I'm not the Buddha, and I'm sure no saint

Sometimes I'm filled with anger and complaints

But let me try to get this one thing straight

There's one thing that I really, really hate

Some people think that I'm a happy man

It's not always so, but there's times that I am

There's plenty of stuff that I know ain't right

And sometimes it'll keep me up for half of the night

But if I got lucky, it's because of you

If you look into my eyes, then you can tell that it's true

And if I'm mad, I hope you understand

The one thing I hate is to see you sad
