Well, I woke up.
Yeah I opened my eyes.
and now I see your pretty little words were lies.
Hey, guess what?
I'm takin' back what's mine.
Do whatever you please, just please don't waste my time.
*CHORUS*
I scratch your back, you stab mine.
If that’s the way you want it? Well that’s just fine.
I ain’t gonna take it like I done before,
and I don’t wanna be your friend no more.
No, I don’t wanna be your friend no more.
When I look back
on whatcha given me,
It's precious little 'sides grief and misery.
Well I'm a-gettin' up,
I'm goin' out on my own.
So won't you be a pal to me and leave me alone?
*CHORUS*
*CHORUS*
