Story Behind The Song

A true story with the name omitted to protect the guilty.

Lyrics

I NEVER LIKED YOU

I should?ve known right from the start
That you were gonna break my heart.
I should?ve known somehow you?d make me blue
?Cause half the lies you told me just were not true.

You told me I was handsome and you liked my smile
How you like to me constantly all the while
What goes around comes around that?s our fate;
Even Napoleon had his Watergate.

I never liked you and I always will
Our friendship went straight downhill
You would be buried if wishes could kill
I never liked you and I always will.

I bought you lobster for supper while I ate a muffin
Then you told me to shut up when you?re interrupting.
I bit my tongue when you told me that you hated all men
Well? I?ve passed a lot of water since then.

So I bought you some flowers then I drove you home
The next day I called you on the telephone.
When you hung up on me there was no doubt
If I wanted a friend to include you out.
