7 Things

Artist: Miley Cyrus

I probably shouldn’t say this

But at times I get so scared

When I think about the previous

Relationship we’ve shared

It was awesome but we lost it

It’s not possible for me not to care

And now we’re standing in the rain

But nothing’s ever gonna change until you hear, my dear

The 7 things I hate about you

[Chorus]

The 7 things I hate about you (oh you)

You’re vain, your games, you’re insecure

You love me, you like her

You make me laugh, you make me cry

I don’t know which side to buy

Your friends they’re jerks

When you act like them, just know it hurts

I wanna be with the one I know

And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do

You make me love you

It’s awkward and silent

As I wait for you to say

But what I need to hear now

Is your sincere apology

When you mean it, I’ll believe it

If you text it, I’ll delete it

Let’s be clear

Oh I’m not coming back

You’re taking 7 steps here

[Chorus]

And compared to all the great things

That would take too long to write

I probably should mention

The 7 that I like

The 7 things I like about you

Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi’s

And when we kiss, I’m hypnotized

You make me laugh, you make me cry

But I guess that’s both I’ll have to buy

Your hand in mine

When we’re intertwined everything’s alright

I want to be

With the one I know

And the 7th thing I like the most that you do

You make me love you

You do (oh)
