Lyrics

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
As you used to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn that misery loves
Company, wait and see
I mean, I wanna be around to see how he does it
When he breaks your heart to bits
Let's see if the puzzle really fits
So fine
And 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
Written by: Johnny Mercer, Sadie Vimmerstedt
