Lyrics
I feel upset
Let's do some celebrating
Come on, honey
Don't hesitate now
Needed you, you withdrew
I was so forsaken
Oh now, the tables have turned, my move
I believe I'll be taking my revenge
Sweet revenge
I thought you were some perfect read-out
Some digital delay had obscured
And phased my view
Of the wicked hand you played
All the sands and hands of time have run out
Run out, oh, you better face it
Ah, this thing's run amok this luck
I do know how to replace it with revenge
Oh, sweet revenge
I gave you a wristwatch, baby
You wouldn't even give me the time of day
Ah, you wanna know what makes me tick
Now, it's me that's got precious little to say
For the ghosts of our love have dried, have died
There's no use faking it
All the spirits gonna close in on you tonight
High time, I was taking my revenge
Sweet revenge
Revenge
Revenge
(Revenge) all the gold and silver
Couldn't measure up my love for you, it's so immaterial (revenge)
I won't wait around if I was you
Nah, this ain't the way for ting-ting, nobody gets anything
Nobody gets nothing, nah, no time for kisses
Don't leave me no space in your little boat (revenge)
You ain't gonna need no-, you ain't gonna need no little boat (revenge)
You are living on my time, my dear
Revenge
Sweet revenge
Sweet, sweet revenge
Sweet revenge
