Green Day Why Do You Want Him lyrics

[sbduman]

I send this song to my mother! Why do you want him??

Ah, of course, I know it, cuz you loved.. But now, he makes you sorry. I don't like him, mom. I don't like see you sad. -true story

[mrandresitoquerido]

this song is amazing but am i the only one that doesn't hear him say "tears" on his first verse? kinda mindfucked me

[RedBassplaya]

i bet none of the people that just like green day because they heard 21 guns on the radio would have ever heard of this song.

[OneOfTheAliens]

@RedBassplaya to be honest i heard 21 guns first from GD probably and that got me intrested enough to listen to everything :)

[RedBassplaya]

@OneOfTheAliens okay well a majority of them then..

[greendaylover60]

wow, they were good back then to! i love greeeeeeeeeen daaaaaaay!!!!! U GUYS ARE FAWESOME!!! ( fucking awesome)

[ambyfreakincitiepie]

OMFG! i just had that question asked to me at 3 this morning. . . this is the first time i heard this song but i have to admit it's now its one of my fav's now

[ELIZEBETHGALLOWAY]

I just had an eargasm!!!!!!!!!

-luv u Billie-

[LiLveveHardcore]

Cant believe that this is his their first song. I dont think, that nthey thi´pought that twenty years later people hear it and say: Green day or thing like that. Maybe they dreamed but... this must be a fucking good feeling to listen tto his first song and now.. being a Superstar, which is known by almost everybody. :D

[viaman100]

The first song billie wrote :P

[psalvacion]

@viaman100 Really??Great Song!!

[kylewise14]

I can't belive he wrote this when he was like 10yr!!

[vacantloser]

@kylewise14 he was 14.....not 10 xD

[kylewise14]

@vacantloser oh well, honest mistake right?

[vacantloser]

@kylewise14 :) yea! we all make mistakes, thats what makes uus human, and I respect you for admiting that! :D

CHEERS! :D

[kylewise14]

@vacantloser Awesome!

[ObamaDNigg]

''They have bad taste. I'm not a good looking guy''

- Billie Joe Armstrong



[Dendy22100]

i love this song :D

[omgitsher98]

when he divorces his wife, im gonna be mrs armstrong. definately. try me beeeotch

[JoeRobot17]

@omgitsher98 their not gunna get divorced so keep dreaming.

[TiffyTheTurtleco08]

THIS IS THE GRATEST SONG EVER! I have loved it since I first heard it! One of my theme songs, definitely. Lol. Billie Joe is a fantastic song writer!

[miley2010cyrus1]

AMAZINGGGGG 

[LittleSlimJimmy]

@VFloresTalent Nooo, that was the first song he recorded. He didn't write the song just sang it.

[LiLveveHardcore]

@htansy77 That is not true.

In a interview witzh michael myer he said, that this is no the trouth.

This is just about, that he wants to go with somebody, but she didnt want him.

[birdslayers85]

why does it matter im still talkin about the same dudes

[birdslayers85]

greenday is da best !

[VFloresTalent]

@htansy77 nope first song billie wrote was called look for love wen he was five

[XToxicZombieXx]

It's funny how people think this is about billie joes step dad or whatever. He said himself that's not it and it's meant to be like the song "you're gonna lose that girl" by the beatles. Reasearch huns :)

[thegrouchpunk]

@XToxicZombieXx well perhaps, i say perhaps :) he says it because now he doeslike his step father

[3belgica3]

Why do i want him!

[NJP695]

@htansy77 No, it was Best Thing in Town.

[SpyrosGuitarPlayer]

solo (Y)

[AwesomePopsicle4ever]

Made Me Cry xD

[TheSrXoN]

listen goblini elesdi se vraca kuci, you ll find that this two song are very similar ...

[pauloelcazador]

tis song is for the fucking father of billie

[SpyrosGuitarPlayer]

@pauloelcazador stepfather*

[psalvacion]

this song is awesome :D

[007jo100]

green day is always the fucking best in every time

[greendayguy220]

@007jo100 this comment doesn't really make sense but GREEN DAY YEA!

[Bl3ssedWithACurs3]

This so reminds me of my old relationship to my ex. o A o Its what I felt.. and I think exactly these lines now, the more I think about what has happened between me and him. :o

[sakurita123cami]

this song he wrote when he was a teen cause he hated her mom's boyfriend (she had after billie joe father's died)

[ilyjoesphadam]

@heavenisforme As you can see, I wrote that four months ago. I saw the interview too and heard what he said.

[TeamChainLink1]

wasnt this the first song he wrote ?

[markfryer87]

@TeamChainLink1 I've heard that it was the first song he wrote, when he was 13 or 14. But then you hear songs like Look For Love when he was a really small child, but I dunno if he wrote that. It's certainly the first Green Day song he wrote. But whether or not it was his first song ever, I cannot say.

[greendayfanforeverm]

super chanson texte profond...green day sont les meilleurs !!!

[XAshlandxxAmersonX]

O_o

[XToxicZombieXx]

this song isn't about billie joe's mom's new boyfriend, its meant to be like a "you're gonna lose that girl" sort of thing. He even said so in a recent interview. Its on green days vevo chanel (its the one thats like an hour and a half long O.O)

[GreenDayIsOver9000]

wow, this song can really relate to me right now so yeah, it makes it that much more awesome, and pretty hard to do to the best song evar!!!!!!

[greendaylovah]

This is the first song that he wrote........ I find it beautiful.........

[Zeljko96Srb]

"why do you want him" 5 words that are in my mind sience saturday . its kinda tough when you tell someone IN THE FACE "i love you" and you get i like some1 else . and im a guy so it gets pretty Fu*ked up after something like that

[NatWolff43567890]

Awesome Song :)

[GDchick13]

This is what I say to my friend all the time :/

[francescaschi1]

I want you Billie...not him xD

[ilyjoesphadam]

@alaskanbeatlesfan Yah I saw that interview and the first thing I thought about was the comment I left here.

[skullnavia2]

i love this song very mucho xD

[TheLousyGuitarist]

Billie joe just admitted in an interview with Mike Mayer this song is NOT about his mom, but just the usual songs about girls.

[ToKiOdR1Ft]

@MeganLuvsGreenDay What do you think about Espionage lyrics?

[dizon96]

@ToKiOdR1Ft haha i had to think twice about that one xD lol

[ToKiOdR1Ft]

@dizon96 Only a true fan knows the answer ;)

[dizon96]

@ToKiOdR1Ft yeah. hahaha. i was like "there's no lyrics in - ooohhh!" hahah nice one

[ToKiOdR1Ft]

@dizon96 Exactly! Espionage has no lyrics, and this is a method to recognize true fans and fake fans :D

[killer231233]

Billie admitted this song was a lie, he said the story wasn't true xD. if you dont belive me look at the green day's channel, he said it in an interview lol.

[ivanai94]

woow...if i could make a wish (that would came true) it would be: GREEN DAY in Croatia...thumb up...<3

[breakingfame]

am i the only dude who is strait that would kiss billie? haha

[punkred67]

@breakingfame probably not. my best guy friend and i were talking about him and he's completely straight and he said "i would do him"

so there you go! you're not alone

[breakingfame]

@punkred67 ok i just felt like i was the only dude would would be gay with billie, lol

[96johnnyb]

@breakingfame no you're not the only one...

[breakingfame]

@96johnnyb good haha

[johnrjmoore]

just wondering... what happened to Al Sobrante? lol

[dooggyloover]

@johnrjmoore He left Green Day to attend college. Then the amazing Tre Cool took his place :D

[DoctorsGreenMaggot]

Pride: Being the youngest and only fan in 50 person vicinity that new and sang along to the lyrics of the first album at a Green Day concert.

[MeganLuvsGreenDay]

@DoctorsGreenMaggot how old are you i am 12 and i know almost all the lyrics to this song lol

[breakingfame]

@MeganLuvsGreenDay no one gives a shit about ur age so what if ur 12 and no most the words im 13 and can play the hole song on guitar and sing it along with quite a few more songs by them and some nirvana and other bands. so idc what ur age is

[MeganLuvsGreenDay]

@breakingfame ok :)

[danielwarnerdw]

@breakingfame win

[straty899]

@breakingfame you're such a boss... lol jk

[breakingfame]

@straty899 i dont know how to respond so im not gonna

[straty899]

@breakingfame Well you just did. You also just totally derailed a kid for no reason, and made a bunch of spelling mistakes at the same time. My post was sarcasm.

[breakingfame]

@straty899 i dont give a shit bout spelling really... lol. and i know i was being sarcastic with my response

[straty899]

@breakingfame Touche. Eye for an eye. Sarcasm for sarcasm. I like it.

[breakingfame]

@straty899 hell yea

[empire17s]

this is the first the first song billie wrote

[lovingeveryxsecond]

favorite green day song of all time.

[AlyssaSaisHi222]

who gives a shit if Billie Joe is hot or not?

This is punk rock we're talking about. Not a Beauty contest.

[ViciousCupcakeEater]

@AlyssaSaisHi222 FUCKING THANK-YOU. Someone who understands that.

[AlyssaSaisHi222]

@ViciousCupcakeEater no problem. It annoys the shit out of me when people go on a gd video and instead of saying "I love this song, it is so good" they say "I love Billie Joe, he is so hot"

[BrintneyLovesLife]

@AlyssaSaisHi222 I love Green Day.

But Billie is hot anyways lol

[XXKitty666]

I've been listening to green day since i was a little kid , im almost 15 now and love them as much as i did the first time i heard them <3 .

[DarkGuitarKid]

Reminds me of that bitch of an ex girlfriend i have

[harlobell]

what album is this from?

[HiImMissAnonymous]

@harlobell pretty sure it's from 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours.

[leslie5590]

@harlobell 1039 smoothed out slappy hours .

[JTH1282]

[hartwellsfriend]

[whatsername1313]

hey,anyone that didnt know(most people) why do you want him is NOT about billies mom, "its about wanting to be with somone and they wanna be with somone else,yaknow." -billie joe armstrong.

[alexisazebra]

@whatsername1313  haha i just saw that on that interview he did :)

[hattrik2]

Happy 20th Birthday 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours!!!

[andymg97]

this proves that green day makes music that talks about real shit not like the plastic pop stars right now that talk about going to fuckin clubs. i listen to greenday since i am 6 years old and it was my first favorite rock band and still are the band the band that defined me

[RipleyShaine]

<3

BEAST! :D

[StingyToaster123]

im 16 years old & i've grew up with Green Day and without them i wouldnt be the person i am today so i say thank you Green Day, you are the worlds greatest band!<3

[13StarRox]

this song is about billie's mom and her boyfriend. Billie always hated him

[90punkday]

why do u want him? come on mrs. Armstong.. lol

[majorgreendayfan101]

i've been a greendayday fan sinse i was like 4/5 years old ... and now im 15 & a1/2

[quagmire19]

eesh this is the one question a girl who knows she has a dick head for a bf can never answer.

[GREENDAYjanet]

Thumbs up if when you listen to this song, you wanna cry and feel bad for Billie Joe and wanna tell him you love him?! GREEN DAY rocks!!!

[Daxtrina]

im 12 and ive been a green day fan 4 3 years the first song i ever heard was wake me up when september ends

[legalizeit727]

The lyrics are in the album....how do you get them wrong?!

[monkiman1231234567]

i wish billie joe was my dad tbh :L <3 love the guy

hopefully he will see my video and sign me :) x

[LaPhinapple14]

*hehhhhhh... Billie Joe. X) *gohd, i love him!

[ThunderHunter100]

Linlaur, I know you make lyrics but I was thinkin' about karaoke, is it possible?

[11XXXShawnXXX11]

The intro sounds like Basket Case

[3ve0fD3ath]

this is how i feel about the person im in love with...her ex reminds me of "platypus (i hate you)"

[Jetsbff]

he wrote this after his mum remarried. him and none of his siblings liked him!

[RPvideoss]

this song reminds me of me and my ex cuz i feel just like this,when she tlks about her bf

[ilyjoesphadam]

I heard this song was written to Billie Joe's mom who got a new boyfriend after their father died that none of his siblings, including him, liked.

[GreenDayPunkChick]

@ilyjoesphadam It's true, except it was about his stepdad. 

[RedFlagBand]

@ilyjoesphadam indeed it is.

[LeSpamTV]

@ilyjoesphadam was also the first song he ever wrote. 2 birds with 1 stone i guess

[MochaCat123]

@ilyjoesphadam you're absolutely right, :)

[DarkGuitarKid]

@Brigister IHe said it wasn't true, he didn't write if for his mom.

[Brigister]

@DarkGuitarKid Maybe you sent this message to the wrong person :P

[DarkGuitarKid]

@Brigister dude reread what you wrote, you had a typo and said that billie said it was true that he wrote it to his mom

[Brigister]

@DarkGuitarKid ooops, thanks dude, i meant "that's not true" XD

[heavenisforme]

@ilyjoesphadam he said that's not true. -.-

[39thKerplunx]

@ilyjoesphadam he disputed it, it's just about a relationship with a favorite girl

[MsSmexiebunny]

you can tell he was a teenger when he recorded this :D

[MrNickPeters]

FIRST SONG BILLIE EVER WROTE! :D he said it himself haha

/watch?v=M1fb4TWvY4Y&NR=1 on 4:05

[markko989]

this was the first song that billie wrote

[jera3]

I'm 17, as old as the album Dookie, and I loooove this album and this song!! Green Day for life!! <3

[TheBleanaru]

I like this it's good but you can tell how much they have improved. I remember listening to them when I was really little. Green Day fan sence age 3 2001

[MaximumtheZinc]

Ah, first song Billie Joe ever wrote! Hilariously it's not about some random bimbo, it's about his mom and his ass of a stepdad.

[jera3]

WHY DO YOU WANT HIIIIIIIM? :(

[CamiloArbelaez7]

Why Do You Want Him?

Green Day

1,039/Smooth Out Slapped Hours (1990)

This CD is 5 years older than me.. And I Think I Want To Marry It

[Dookiedayz6988]

green day fan since 1994 whoop this is the best album ever

[TheKevIp]

If you don't listen very carefully it sounds like "why do you waaaant heeeeliiuuum!" haha :D

[MegaAnnoying1]

If you are a big fan of Green Day but don't really like their latest album, you were never a real fan of them at all. Best band ever, Green Day!! :D

[Shenanigans07]

@MegaAnnoying1 That's a moronic thing to say.

[TFReviews1]

@MegaAnnoying1 How can you say someone isnt a fan if they dislike ONE album? They have a different opinion that doesn't mean they aren't a fan.

[HerbertUndEdward]

The name of the CD ???? :P

i Love this songs...

[GreenDayRockerin]

@HerbertUndEdward 1.039/smoothed out slappy hours

[msUsmarine]

I think the best part is 0:00-2:29 !

[GreenDayJ17A13]

I can't believe he wrote this at 14, its fucking incredible.

[RedOrangeGreen1]

he wrote this song when he was like 14 or something lol

[MrStinkoMalinko]

in my opinion Green day is the best band since the beatles

[MrSQUABify]

@MrStinkoMalinko Really?? I think your love of them is blocking your vision of music Green Day are a great band I like them but you cant compare them to the Beatles.....they are different styles and The Beatles had much more of an influence on bands today and of old way more then Green Day

[cokezzzftw]

@MrSQUABify Agreed, Green Day are my favourite band, and always will be, but you cannot compare them to The Beatles. In my opinion, The Beatles, are and will be the most influential band in history. Well that is my opinion. :D

[sportsfinatic180]

THUMBS UP IF U ummmm...LIKE GREEN DAY!

[jaketheguitarist6379]

you can go on most vids and see his name in the comments and there are people saying why the fuck is his name in the comments on this vid when he has nothing to do with it. its just really anoying seeing tht

[96greendaylicious]

Billie Joeee : d <3 GREEN DAY 4 EVER ♥

[MaxCrooks]

I find it kind of annoying how I always hear how attractive billy is? It's the music that matters, he may be a handsome fella, but its his creative mind that got him where he is that and he shreds guitar :)

[FagosaurusRex]

@MaxCrooks Billie *

[krisaroo0716]

@greendaytisdabom i am not "tarded" and maybe u should learn how to spell because i can tell ur not a very bright person

[broadwayaddicted]
