Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hope that the friend
You've thrown yourself with, he gets drunk and loses his job
And every road that you travel on is dusty, rocky, and hard
I couldn't make you  love me
You only made me blue
So all in all, if the curtain should fall
Lord, I hope that it falls on you
[Verse 2]
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge
[Verse 3]
Well, I hope that the train
From Caribou, Maine runs over your new love affair
You walk the floor from door to door, and pull out your peroxide hair
You never was my woman
'Cause you were never true
So all in all, if the curtain should fall
Lord, I hope that it falls on you
[Verse 4]
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet, sweet, sweet mental revenge
