Lyrics

Album version

I like to fuck but no French Letter Without a condom, the sex is better But every time I get it in A baby cries and sometimes twins I have six kids and I don't like it They eat too much and treat me like shit They only wear Posh label cloth If you give one hand, they bite off both And all my friends, they have big cars Big mansions too and smoke the fine cigars They have deep pockets, I don't know why I look at my purse and start to cry I hate my life and I hate you I hate my wife and her boyfriend too I hate to hate and I hate that I hate my life so very bad I hate my kids, never thought That I'd praise abort Praise abort Praise abort I like to fuck but no French letter 'Cause without kids life is so much better So in the end I got forced To stay away from female intercourse I hate my life and I hate you I hate my wife and her boyfriend too I hate to hate and I hate that I hate my life so very bad I hate my kids, never thought That I'd praise abort Praise abort Praise abort Say goodbye, say goodbye We rise up, up to the sky Say goodbye, we'll come back Soon as pretty butterflies Make you cry I hate my life and I hate you I hate my wife and my boyfriend too I hate to hate and I hate that I hate myself so very bad I hate my offspring, never thought That I'd praise abort I'd praise abort I'd praise abort
