Lyle Lovett
They Don’t Like Me
They don't like me, I can feel it
And I don't like 'em, it's the same old song
They don't like me, I just know it
But I'd be happy just to get along

They try to love me, I know they do
'Cause when I tell 'em "I love you"
They say "we love you too"

But I know they don't like me, I can feel it
And I don't like 'em, it's the same old song
They don't like me, I just know it
But I'd be happy just to get along

She told me, "you can call me mother"
He said, "Son, just call me dad
We'll treat you like the only boy we wish we never had"

But I know they don't like me, I can feel it
And I don't like 'em, it's the same old song
They don't like me, I just know it
But I'd be happy just to get along

I don't like 'em
They don't like me
I'd be happy just to get along
She said, "You know he doesn't drink much
And we've never heard him curse
And he's really not that ugly, dear
She could've done much worse"

But I know they don't like me, I can feel it
And I don't like 'em, it's the same old song
They don't like me, I can feel it
But I'd be happy just to get along

I'd be happy just to get along
I'd be happy just to get along
