PAYBACK'S A BITCH
Lyrics
PAYBACK'S A BITCH
DeVinny/Papageorge

V1
I loved you beyond reason, beyond rhyme
I swore I'd be just your love till the end of time
And I thought I made you happy, but I only made you laugh
You were smiling out of one side of your mouth
Lying with the other half, but

(Chorus)
Payback's a bitch
And you don't know where it's coming from
Or when it's gonna hit
But you'll get your turn
You're gonna learn how it feels
To crash and burn
My love, I promise you this
Payback's a bitch

V2
You took me slick and easy as a wish
I handed you my heartstrings for you to tangle with
And you're such a fancy dancer
That you never thought you'd fall
So you were charming the pants off of half the town
And thought I'd never know at all, but

(Chorus)
Payback's a bitch
And you don't know where it's coming from
Or when it's gonna hit
But you'll get your turn
You're gonna learn how it feels
To crash and burn
My love, I promise you this
Payback's a bitch
