Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A lover spurned, a lesson learned
On love you've got your fingers burned
Shed bitter tears, now love has turned
The sweet revenge of a lover spurned
[Verse 2]
A passing phase, a week of love
But all at once, you've had enough
It pales so soon, waned with the Moon
No deep concern, for a lover spurned
[Verse 3]
She'll destroy you with her little games
See you swallow all the blame
Make you pay in many ways
For the pleasure of watching you squirm
[Verse 4]
She'll tell her friends to treat you rough
That you just weren't good enough
Make the going really tough
For the pleasure of watching you burn in Hell
[Verse 5]
And everyday, more guilt to pay
A lesson learned, from a lover spurned
Yeah
[Verse 6]
It was all so cozy for you
You had a wife, two children and a beautiful house
And me, well you wanted me when it suited your needs
And now, now I have nothing, just a handful of faded photographs
Nothing but a cold empty heart
[Verse 7]
But I'm not easily forgotten
I'll appear when you least expect
To make you pay
You asked for it that way
[Verse 8]
She'll come to get you with a knife
Write poison letters to your wife
Totally destroy your life
For the pleasure of watching you squirm
[Verse 9]
She'll make a fool of you at work
Drag your name through the dirt
Make sure that it really hurts
For the pleasure of watching you burn in Hell
[Verse 10]
A lover spurned, a lesson learned
On love you've got your fingers burned
Shed bitter tears, now love has turned
The sweet revenge of a lover spurned
The sweet revenge of a lover spurned
The sweet revenge of a lover spurned
[Verse 11]
La, la, la
La-la-la, la
La, la, la, la
La-la, la, la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 12]
La, la, la
La-la-la, la
La, la, la, la
Oh
