Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I see you coming from a mile away

And you're looking real cocky

You think that you can keep that sea at bay

But it's about to get, mmm, choppy

[Verse 2]

Play with me and you'll play with fire

I can make you pay

I'll burn you up if it's my desire

Do you hear what I say?

[Verse 3]

Boy you don't know what I'm all about

I'll chew you up and then I'll spit you out

So if you know what's good for you

[Verse 4]

(Retreat) Yeah ah ah

Retreat yeah

Step back boy, because you can't fix crazy

(Retreat) Retreat, retreat yeah

Raise your white flag high, 'cause I'm comin' in blazin'

(Retreat) Retreat, 'cause it's my way baby

And I don't care none about the rest of you

(Retreat) Retreat, that's what I say baby

And I don't care if it makes sense to you

[Verse 5]

Taking you apart is my kind of fun

I count to three and you better run

(One, two, three) Here I come

[Verse 6]

(Retreat) Retreat yeah

Retreat

Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned

(Retreat) Retreat, retreat yeah

I will make you wish that you was never ever born, ohh

(Retreat) Retreat, retreat yeah

What a fool you'd be to take me on

(Retreat) Retreat yeah

Ah come on, oh, ah come on, oh

[Verse 7]

(Retreat) Retreat yeah

Retreat, hell hath no furry like a woman scorned

(Retreat) Retreat, retreat

I'll make you wish you was never ever born

(Retreat) Retreat, retreat yeah

What a fool you'd be to take, to take me on

(Retreat) Retreat

Come on, oh, come on (Retreat)

Come on, yeah

Retreat yeah

(Retreat) You know you can't fix things

Come on, hey yeah

(Retreat) Step back I'm coming in blazing, ohh

(Retreat) Retreat yeah

Retreat, umm hmm

(Retreat) Whoa ooh

Come on, oh ohh

(Retreat)
