“Hast” or “Hasst”?
The close pronunciation between du hast (you have) and du hasst (you hate), plays on two meanings throughout the song—Du hast mich (you have me) and Du hasst mich (you hate me).
In a few words
Though the song is filled with scant lyrics—You, you have, you have me / You have me, you asked me / You asked me, you asked me and I said nothing—“Du Hast” explores the detriments of marriage, and the developing separation and resentment drawn from a long-term relationship.

German Wedding Vows
“Du Hast” also plays on German wedding vows—Wollen Sie einander lieben und achten und die Treue halten bis dass der Tod euch scheidet?—or (roughly) “Do you love and respect each other and remain faithful until death separates you?”
