Especially since it might be so unaware. Kira, it's not all that hatin', but it got me thinking about hating songs. (And "damn your eyes", out of context, is a pretty serious bit of cursing). I'm not sure which Morrisette you mean, but assuming it's <em>You Oughta Know</em>, then I'd agree it's hatier, but it's not a hating that comes out in cursing or expressions of bad will, it's more a "remind you of the shit you pulled" hating. (<em>Right Through You</em> is also hatey, without being cursey.) Will, the recursiveness is amusing. Especially since it might be so unaware.
