I Hate It When That Happens to Me Songtext
von John Prine

Well I once knew
A man who was going insane
He let love chase him right up a tree
It took the police and a fire truck
Just to bring him back down
Oh, I hate it when that happens to me

It made the front page of the paper
The gossip tongues wagged
Why, they even showed it all on TV
Now, if he should live forever
He won′t live it down
Oh, I hate it when that happens to me


Dog bites man
Man loses girl
Oh, what did he ever
Do wrong in this world?

Dog bites man
Man loses girl
Oh, what have I ever
Done wrong in this world?

There once was a big buzz
All over town
About a movie
Where the killer goes free
Now, he's got everyone′s sympathy
Oh, I hate it when that happens to me

Yes, I hate it when that happens to me
