Lyrics:

1973 album Where My Heart Is
Writer(s): Dan Penn, Leroy Daniels

(I tried to hate you right out of my mind)

I hate you, oh, how I try to hate you
I get bitter every time you run through my mind
Between love and hate, there's a little thin line
And I'm trying to hate you right out of my mind.

Oh, I hate you each time I cry, I hate you
Little drops of anger fall from my eyes
You said that you love me, tell me how could this fool be so blind
And I'm trying to hate you right out of my mi-ind.

Oh, ain't it funny how a heart
That loved you one time
Could be filled with so much anger
For you and your kind.

I hate you, oh, how I try to hate you
I get bitter every time you run through my mind
Between love and hate, there's a little thin line
And I'm trying to hate you right out of my mind (oh-oh-oh)
I'm tryin' to hate you right out of my mind
