"If You Hated Me" Lyrics

(Merle Haggard - Red Lane - Dean Holloway)

You must have been mad at me when you said I'm in love with you
And you made me believe in you and that you wanted me
If you really had love in mind and it hurtin' me all this time
I wonder what you would do if you hated me.

If love causes this much pain and revenge really played no part
And you're about to break my heart when you're through with me
You must have been mad at me when you said I'm in love with you
And I wonder what you would do if you hated me.

--- Instrumental ---

You must have been mad at me when you said I'm in love with you
And you made me believe in you and that you wanted me
If you really had love in mind and it hurtin' me all this time
I wonder what you would do if you hated me...
