Better Than Revenge Lyrics

Now Go Stand In The Corner And
Think About What You Did
Ha, Time For A Little Revenge

The Story Starts
When It Was Hot And It Was Summer
And, I Had It All
I Had Him Right There
Where I Wanted Him

She Came Along,
Got Him Alone
And Let’s Hear The Applause
She Took Him Faster Than
You Could Say Sabotage

I Never Saw It Coming
Nor Would I Have Suspected It
I Underestimated Just
Who I Was Dealing With
She Had To Know
The Pain Was Beating On Me Like A Drum
She Underestimated Just
Who She Was Stealing From

She’s Not A Saint And
She’s Not What You Think
She’s An Actress, Whoa
She’s Better Known For
The Things That She Does
On The Mattress, Whoa
Soon She’s Gonna Find
Stealing Other People’s
Toys On The Playground
Won’t Make You Many Friends
She Should Keep In Mind,
She Should Keep In Mind
There Is Nothing
I Do Better Than Revenge, Ha

She Looks At Life Like
It’s A Party And She’s On The List
She Looks At Me Like I’m A Trend
And She’s So Over It

I Think Her Ever Present
Frown Is A Little Troubling
And, She Thinks I’m Psycho
’cause I Like To Rhyme
Her Name With Things, But

Sophistication Isn’t What You Wear
Or Who You Know
Or Pushing People Down To Get
You Where You Wanna Go
Oh They Didn’t Teach You
That In Prep School
So It’s Up To Me
But No Amount Of Vintage Dresses
Gives You Dignity
(think About What You Did)

She’s Not A Saint And
She’s Not What You Think
She’s An Actress, Whoa
She’s Better Known For
The Things That She Does
On The Mattress, Whoa
Soon She’s Gonna Find
Stealing Other People’s
Toys On The Playground
Won’t Make You Many Friends
She Should Keep In Mind,
She Should Keep In Mind
There Is Nothing
I Do Better Than Revenge, Ha

I’m Just Another Thing For You
To Roll Your Eyes At Honey
You Might Have Him
But Haven’t You Heard

I’m Just Another Thing For You
To Roll Your Eyes At Honey
You Might Have Him
But I’ll Always Get The Last Word
Whoa

She’s Not A Saint And
She’s Not What You Think
She’s An Actress, Whoa
She’s Better Known For
The Things That She Does
On The Mattress, Whoa
Soon She’s Gonna Find

Stealing Other People’s
Toys On The Playground
Won’t Make You Many Friends
She Should Keep In Mind,
She Should Keep In Mind
There Is Nothing
I Do Better Than Revenge, Ha

And Do You Still Feel Like You
Know What You’re Doing,
’cause I Don’t Think You Do, Oh
Do You Still Feel Like You
Know What You’re Doing

I Don’t Think You Do
I Don’t Think You Do
Let’s Hear The Applause
C’mon Show Me
How Much Better You Are
See You Deserve Some Applause
’cause You’re So Much Better
She Took Him Faster
Than You Could Say Sabotage
