I Hated Them a Year Ago

I Hated Them a Year Ago

 This song's about hating something initially and then eventually loving it. Sometimes that happens - I'll listen to an album, and my least favorite song initially becomes my favorite one. Or food that tastes gross and yucky at first will taste fabulous after a while. This song's about something I almost got rid of a year ago and then later on went, "oh my, I'm so glad I didn't get rid of that!"

The lyrics are:

Normal things I didn't taste before
Normal things I didn't taste before

I got so sad: I hated them a year ago
I hated them a year ago

My first impression was not great
That is the lesson...of late
Something that at first I hate
Later on might start to taste great

I got so sad: I hated them a year ago
I hated them a year ago

And it scares me that I might have
Given up something that I have
Grown to love an awful lot, oh dear
I love it as much as my favorite beer
Some things have an acquired taste, it's a waste
To throw them away on recycle day, in my haste
To get rid of the thing that bothers me
When it has hidden positive qualities

I got so sad: I hated them a year ago
I hated them a year ago

They seemed mean but they got nice
Tasty things upon a bed of rice

I got so sad: I hated them a year ago
I hated them a year ago
