I hate a man like you,
Don’t like the things you do,
When I met you, I thought you was right,
You married me and stayed out the first night,
Do you think you treatin’ your wife right,
Lord, I hate a man like you.

I hate a man like you,
Don’t like the things you do,
Just like a woman, you're always carry tales,
Tryin’ to make trouble, wanna get me in jail,
Then you can’t find no one to go my bail,
Lord, I hate a man like you.

I hate a man like you,
Don’t like the things you do,
Walkin’ ‘round with a switch and a rock,
Shootin’ dice, always playin’ cards,
While I bring a pint from the white folks’ yard,
Lord, I hate a man like you.

I hate a man like you,
Can’t stand the things you do,
Eatin’ and drinkin’, sittin’ at the inn,
Grinnin’ in my face and winkin’ at my friends,
When my back is turned you’re like a rooster at a hen,
Lord, I hate a man like you
Lord, I hate a man like you.
