I Love You (But I Hate Your Friends) Lyrics

I drew my name in lipstick on a mirror at your sister's house
She told me I was strange, I told her thanks, and kissed her on the mouth
But you don't go that way
I thought you had a thing for fancy boys
Looks can be deceiving

I love you
But I hate your friends
They are desperate
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
This emptiness would end
Stop pretending
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
Would you be ready to go?

They never lock on music
They bitch about it and call it 'used to be'
So now I can't refuse it
I dig your playing sexuality
Oh you say I'm not that easy
I'm not sure what the hell you take me for
Honey, Looks can be deceiving

I love you
But I hate your friends
They are desperate
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
This emptiness would end
Stop pretending
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
Would you be ready to go?

They're always on to the next big thing
They wanna buy but they can't barely stand
I never wanted you for just a friend
I hated when you lied to me
But I just let you lie to me

I love you
But I hate your friends
They are desperate
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
This emptiness would end
Stop pretending
If you knew what I know would you be ready to go?
Would you be ready to go?

I love you
I love you
But I hate your friends

I love you
I love you
But I hate your friends

Neon Trees is an alternative rock/new wave band which formed in Provo, Utah in 2005, with origins in Southern California. Formed initially by neighbors Tyler Glenn (lead vocals/keyboards) and Chris Allen (guitars), the band made its first home in Provo, eventually adding Branden Campbell (bass) and Elaine Bradley (drums/vocals) to the lineup. In 2010, the band's single "Animal" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.

Although a well known band in Provo, the band didn't receive nationwide exposure until late 2008 when they were chosen as openers for several of The Killers' North American tour dates. Not long after, the band was signed by major record label Mercury Records in early 2009. Additionally, the group was voted Band of the Year in 2009 by City Weekly, a popular Salt Lake City publication. Although they had several prior independent releases, the band released its debut album at Mercury/Def Jam, Habits, on March 16, 2010, with "Animal" as its lead single. The band performed "Animal" during their March 23, 2010 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the band toured opening for 30 Seconds To Mars and Mutemath throughout the Spring of 2010.

"Everybody Talk" was the first single from their sophomore album Picture Show. The single was released to Alternative Radio on December 7, 2011 and made available to digital retailers via Mercury Records on December 20, 2011. (Everybody Talks Songfacts) Read more on Last.fm.
