Revenge is sweet and I can’t wait
Walk down the street, girl don’t be late

Now I don’t want your sympathy
So don’t go sheddin’ no tears
For ev’ry wrong that you did to me
I’ll give you back in fear

Now it’s too late for apologies
You’ve been thru this trick before
A million lies that you laid on me
You knocked me down on the floor

I’m gonna get you back
It’s just a matter of time
It’s a grudge I’ll nurse
I’ll pay you back in kind, you’ll find

You had the chance to put things right
But you preferred to be cruel
I’m sick of pleadin’ on my knees
I’m tired of watchin’ you drool

I’m gonna get you back
It’s just a matter of time
This is one grudge I’ll nurse
I’ll pay you back in kind, you’ll find

Revenge is sweet and I can’t wait
Walk down the street, girl don’t be late

I’m gonna get you back
It’s just a matter of time
This is one grudge I’ll nurse
I’ll pay you back in kind, you”ll find

Revenge is sweet, revenge is sweet
