I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart,
Some somebody twice as smart as I.
A somebody who will swear to be true,
LIke you used to do with me,
Who'll leave you to learn that mis'ry loves company,
Wait and see!
I wanna be around to see how he does it,
When he breaks your heart to bits;
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine.
That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat
When somebody breaks your heart
Like you broke mine.
Instrumental interlude - 1st 3 lines of verse
That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat
When somebody breaks your heart
Like you, like you broke mine.
