Gives You Hell by The All-American Rejects is featured in Hell-O, the fourteenth episode of Season One. It is sung by Rachel with New Directions as back-up vocals.
Rachel directs it towards Finn because he breaks up with her in the episode, and she also sees him flirting with Brittany and Santana. Rachel changes the week's theme from the word "Hello" to only focus on the first syllable: "Hell," making Will very disappointed with her. During the performance, she glares devilishly at Finn and directs the words at him.
Lyrics[]
Rachel:
I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you’re still probably working
At a 9 to 5 pace
I wonder how bad that tastes
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Now where’s your picket fence, love?
And where’s that shiny car?
Did it ever get you far?
You never seem so tense, love
I never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?
And truth be told I miss you (New Directions: Be told I miss you...)
And truth be told I'm lying (New Directions: Ooooh!)
Rachel with New Directions (New Directions Girls):
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that’s worth the damn and treats you well (Treats you well)
Then he’s a fool you’re just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Rachel (New Directions):
Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Yeah, where did it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on
(And the truth)
And truth be told I miss you (Be told I miss you)
And truth be told I'm lying
Rachel with New Directions (New Directions Girls):
When you see my face hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well (Treats you well)
Then he’s a fool you’re just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Rachel with New Directions harmonizing:
Now you’ll never see
What you’ve done to me
You can take back your memories
They’re no good to me
And here’s all your lies
You can look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well
New Directions (New Directions Girls):
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that’s worth the damn and treats you well (Treats you well)
Then he’s a fool you’re just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Rachel with New Directions (New Directions):
When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell I hope it gives you hell (Hope it gives you hell)
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell (Hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song
And you sing along well you’ll never tell (You’ll never tell)
Then you’re the fool I’ve just as well
Hope it gives you hell (Gives you hell)
When you hear this song
I hope that it will give you hell (Give you hell)
You can sing along
I hope that he will treat you...
Rachel:
...Well
Mistakes[]
- During the beginning of the performance, both Brittany and Santana can be seen resting their chins in their fists. In the very next cut, however, they have their arms on their laps.
- In a scene where Rachel is singing, she's standing on a chair and everyone is around her, in scenes after that, Puck switches from the left side, to the right side, to the left again.
