I sit here waiting by the door, wond’ring why you never came--
one hand on the telephone, I waited, but it never rang.
Well, one day, I’m gonna figure you out,
and there’ll be nowhere you can hide from me:
I’ll wreak my revenge, like I know you want me to;
I’ll wreak my revenge...
on you, on you.
I sit here with my broken heart and slightly oozing brain,
trapped inside your pretty little mason jar, drowning in your novacaine [sic].
But one day, I’m gonna figure you out,
and there’ll be nowhere you can hide from me:
I’ll wreak my revenge, like I know you want me to;
I’ll wreak my revenge...
on you, on you, oh!
And when the floods roll in,
and you’re all alone with no one left to blame;
when the curtain goes up,
and the spotlight leaves you standing there in your shame;
when the walls begin to fall around you with a crashing sound,
just remember that ev’ry thing that goes around...
I sit here with my lack of self-esteem,
wond’ring why I never, ever, ever, ever, ever dream.
I stare for hours at my Star Wars toy collection,
and realise I’m bursting at the seams -- I must be bursting at the seams!
But one day, I’m gonna figure me out,
and there’ll be nowhere I can hide from me:
I’ll wreak my revenge, like I know I want me to;
I’ll wreak my revenge, like I know you want me to;
I’ll wreak my revenge, like we all seem to want me to;
I’ll wreak my revenge, like we’re beggin’ and pleadin’ me to;
I’ll wreak my revenge...
revenge...
on you
