Story Behind The Song
An unhealthy and complicated relationship led to the development of this song (no surprise there)...When it was good, it was REALLY good and when it was bad, it was REALLY bad. :( Through the dichotomy, I would often say that I loved him more than I hated him...Fast forward to now...We are happily divorced. :/

Lyrics
Love-N-Hate
Written by: Wendy DeRigo & Juan Q-ba
Yesterday I called you, boy
We were so happy (so happy)
But, believe me, I know
That nothing stays the same
Our love is a game, oh
Complications lead to separation
But we give it one more try
Then adoration, no more hesitation
Floating on a lover's high
'Cause I love you, baby, I do
That's why I say, oh...
Love-n-hate, love-n-hate, love-n-hate
But I love you more
Love-n-hate, love-n-hate, love-n-hate
But I love you more
It's so foolish
That we do this
Can't say good-bye
Is it fate, love, or hate that we're hanging on?
Tell me what we're doing here
Will it ever last forever?
This story is repeating
Pages from the past
Again and again, oh
Such emotion,
Passion, and devotion
Swearing we could touch the sky
Then, like the oceans waves
In rolling motion
Fear caves in
And tempers fly
But, I love you, baby, I do
Don't leave me this way, oh
I'm not with this separation
Let's discuss this
Hear my explanation
I've got you
Plus two
On the side
But you're the one
That keeps my heart alive
Ma, love me
Don't hate on a man
That gives you time
Like hourglass
So, let's not waste these moments
And focus on how we feel the magic
Like "hocus-pocus"
Them others are just sex
Me and you is hotter than spandex
It's only you, ma
There is no next
I ain't know that you felt like this (I didn't know, ma)
I surrender the tender part of me
That sends a dozen roses
As long as your door never closes
I will come to love on those incredible lips
And hips and thighs
And angel eyes
I'll never say good-bye
It's so foolish
That we do this (It's so foolish)
Can't say good-bye (Can't say good-bye)
Is it fate, love, or hate that we're hanging on?
It's so foolish
That we do this (It's so foolish)
Can't say good-bye (Can't say good-bye)
Is it fate, love, or hate that we're hanging on?
All of my fears just keep on coming
Maybe I should just keep on running
What do I do when you're lying and fronting
Give me it all or nothing
Oh, why can't you see
What this crazy drama is doing to me?
Love-n-hate, love-n-hate, love-n-hate
But I love you more
Love-n-hate, love-n-hate, love-n-hate
But I love you more
It's so foolish
That we do this
Can't say good-bye
Is it fate, love, or hate that we're hanging on?
All of my fears just keep on coming
Maybe I should just keep on running
What do I do when you're lying and fronting
Give me it all or nothing
All of my fears just keep on coming
Maybe I should just keep on running
What do I do when you're lying and fronting
Give me it all or nothing (all...)
Don't leave me this way, oh...
Don't leave me this way, oh...
