Love Sux Lyrics
Are we havin' fun yet?
Tell me, are we done yet?
Tired of bein’ cautious, cuttin' all my losses
You make me nauseous, yeah
Am I a regret yet?
I thought you were my best bet
Was it worth what it costed? I am exhausted
You make me nauseous, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
You're overrated
Nothin’ else left to say
Got me feelin' jaded (Ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
Na-na-na, not another breakup
When I think of you, I just wanna throw up
Na-na-na, no, I don't wanna get up
Lyin' in my bed, thinkin' love sucks
Na-na-na, not another breakup
When I think of you, gotta try to be tough
Na-na-na, now I'm all fucked up
Call it bad luck, why does love suck?
[Verse 2]
Do you think I'm stupid?
I keep killin' Cupid
Shot an arrow in my exes, this is my confession
Never learned my lesson, no
Your mouth is full of gossip
All my friends say that you’re toxic (Ew)
Your love is like a weapon, what is the obsession?
Time to learn my lesson, woah
You’re overrated
Nothing else left to say
Got me feelin' jaded (Ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
Na-na-na, not another breakup
When I think of you, I just wanna throw up
Na-na-na, no, I don’t wanna get up
Lyin' in my bed, thinkin' love sucks
Na-na-na, not another breakup
When I think of you, gotta try to be tough
Na-na-na, now I'm all fucked up
Call it bad luck, why does love suck?
[Bridge: Avril Lavigne, Avril Lavigne & MOD SUN]
Let’s play a game of tic-tac-toe
I'ma go and make all my exes say "oh"
This is for the time that we dodged a bullet
I'm better off and, yeah, I know it
Let's play a game of tic-tac-toe
I'ma go and make all my exes say "oh"
This is for the time that we dodged a bullet
I'm better off and, yeah, I know it
[Chorus]
Na-na-na, not another breakup
When I think of you, I just wanna throw up
Na-na-na, no, I don't wanna get up
Lyin' in my bed, thinkin' love sucks
Na-na-na, not another breakup
When I think of you, gotta try to be tough
Na-na-na, now I'm all fucked up
Call it bad luck, why does love suck?
Do you think I'm stupid?
I keep killin' Cupid (Why does love suck?)
Na-na-na, now I'm all fucked up
Call it bad luck, why does love suck?

Regarding working on the song, Avril told Kevan Kenney of Audacy:
According to Lavigne, yes:
My favorite is “Love Sux!” Because it was the headspace I was in, and I think a lot of the songs are in that vein basically. It reminds me of “Girlfriend” a little bit, the songwriting style, and “Girlfriend” is one of my favorites. It’s very much a nursery rhyme chorus.
