One, two, three
Wait, is this the song with the drums?
I met a guy in the summer and I left him in the spring
He argued with me about everything
He had an ego and a temper and a wanderin' eye
He said he's six foot two and I'm like, "Dude, nice try"
But he was so much fun and he had such weird friends
And he would take us out to parties and the night would never end
Another song, another club, another bar, another dance
And when he said, "Something wrong?" he'd just fly me to France
So I miss him some nights when I'm feelin' depressed
'Til I remember every time he made a pass on my friend
Do I love him? Do I hate him? I guess it's up and down
If I had to chose I would say it right now
I wanna get him back
I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad
Oh, I wanna get him back
'Cause then again, I really miss him and it makes me real sad
Oh, I want sweet revenge
And I want him again
I want to get him back, back, back
So I write him all these letters and I throw them in the trash
'Cause I miss the way he kisses and the way he made me laugh
Yeah, I pour my little heart out but as I'm hittin' "Send"
I picture all the faces of my disappointed friends
Because everyone knew all of the shit that he'd do
He said I was the only girl but that just wasn't the truth
And when I told him how he hurt me, he'd tell me I was trippin'
But I am my father's daughter, so maybe I could fix him
I wanna get him back
I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad
Oh, I wanna get him back
'Cause then again, I really miss him and it makes me real sad
Oh, I want sweet revenge
And I want him again
I want to get him back (Back?)
I want to get him back, back, back
I wanna key his car (I want to get him back)
I wanna make him lunch (And then I, I want to get him back)
I wanna break his heart (I want to get him back)
Then be the one to stitch it up (And then I, I want to get him back)
Wanna kiss his face (I want to get him back)
With an uppercut (And then I, I want to get him back)
I wanna meet his mom (I want to get him back)
Just to tell her her son sucks (And then I, I want to get him back)
Oh, I wanna key his car (I want to get him back)
I wanna make him lunch
I wanna break his heart (And then I, I want to get him back)
Stitch it right back up
I wanna kiss his face (I want to get him back)
With an uppercut
I wanna meet his mom (And then I, I want to get him back)
And tell her her son sucks, yeah
I wanna get him back
I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad
Oh, I wanna get him back
'Cause then again I really miss him and it makes me real sad
Oh, I want sweet revenge
And I want him again
I want to get him back (Back? Again?)
I want to get him back, back, back, back
I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him back
Woo-hoo
Get him back, c'mon, c'mon
I'ma get him so good, he won't even know what hit him
He's gonna love me and hate me at the same time
Get back, girl, you better get him back
I got him good, I got him really good
