Fuck You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look inside, look inside your tiny mind
Then look a bit harder
'Cause we're so uninspired, so sick and tired
Of all the hatred you harbour
So you say it's not okay to be gay
Well, I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval


[Chorus]
Fuck you (Fuck you), fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please, don't stay in touch (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Fuck you (Fuck you), fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please, don't stay in touch

[Verse 2]
Do you get, do you get a little kick out of being small minded?
You want to be like your father, it's approval you're after
Well, that's not how you find it

Do you, do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful?
'Cause there's a hole where your soul should be
You're losing control of it
And it's really distasteful
[Chorus]
Fuck you (Fuck you), fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please, don't stay in touch (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Fuck you (Fuck you), fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please, don't stay in touch

[Bridge]
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you

[Verse 3]
You say you think we need to go to war
Well, you're already in one

'Cause it's people like you that need to get slew
No one wants your opinion

[Chorus]
Fuck you (Fuck you), fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please, don't stay in touch (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Fuck you (Fuck you), fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please, don't stay in touch
[Outro]
Fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you
(Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you

Genius Annotation

“Fuck You” is a song by English singer Lily Allen from her second album, It’s Not Me, It’s You, which was released as her third international single following “The Fear” and “Not Fair”.

The song is an anti-homophobia anthem directed at then U.S. President George W. Bush. In the UK, it topped the charts, becoming her first number-one since “The Fear.”

During her No Shame Tour in 2018, at certain shows Lily would preface her performance of the song with a monologue about how she finds the song “has never been more relevant” to the current political climate, referring to then U.S. President Donald J. Trump as well as other political issues at the time.

What did Lily Allen say about "Fuck You"?
Genius Answer

In January of 2009, Allen explained the track “Fuck You” to British Newspaper – The Sun:

That song started about Bush but it’s also about things like this [showing a photo on her phone of neo-Nazi graffiti]. That photo is exactly what that song is about. It was on a wall outside our tour bus. I was so pissed off. And I love to have that conflict of something sounding so sweet but actually being really quite dark.
