[Verse 1]

I'm lonely and abandoned

Washed up, left for dead

I'm lost inside the desert

Of every word you said

Like a nuclear reactor, or TNT

I'm thinking 'bout the times when you lied to me

All the innuendo, caught up on your hook

I was just a name in your little black book (Oh)

In your little black book...


[Chorus]

I'll get even with you

I'll get even with you, even with you


[Verse 2]

I'm bitter and I'm twisted

I haven't slept in days

I'm lonely and I'm angry

I can't make it go away

I'm like a bomb that's ticking, I got voices in my head

I got a doll with needles, and wishing you were dead

I'll get you back somehow, that's what I'm gonna do

I'll get you back somehow, your nightmare's coming true (Oh)

It's coming true (Oh)


[Chorus]

I'll get even with you

Ah, that's what I'm gonna do (I'm gonna get even with you)

I'll get even with you

Even with you, even with you


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

You better look behind you

'Cause there I'm gonna be

I'll be standing in the shadows

With who I used to be

He's slightly schizophrenic

Me, and me, and me, and me agree

That you are gonna pay

For what you did to me


[Pre-Chorus]

I'll get even with you

I'll get even with you


[Chorus]

I'll get even with you (I'm gonna get even with you)

Ah, that's what I'm gonna do (I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, gonna)

I'll get even with you, even with you (Gonna get even)

Ah, that's what I'm gonna do (I'm gonna, I'm gonna, gonna, gonna, gonna)

I'll get even with you (I'm gonna get even with you)

I'll get even with you...
