get him back! Lyrics

[00:00.01] One, two, three
[00:03.29] Wait, is this the song with the drums?
[00:05.51] I met a guy in the summer and I left him in the spring
[00:08.73] He argued with me about everything
[00:11.48] He had an ego and a temper and a wandering eye
[00:14.45] He said he's six-foot-two and I'm like, "Dude, nice try"
[00:17.12] But he was so much fun and he had such weird friends
[00:20.13] And he would take us out to parties and the night would never end
[00:23.08] Another song, another club, another bar, another dance
[00:26.09] And when he said, "Something wrong?" He'd just fly me to France
[00:29.30] So I miss him some nights when I'm feeling depressed
[00:32.03] 'Til I remember every time he made a pass on my friend
[00:35.37] Do I love him? Do I hate him? I guess it's up and down
[00:38.26] If I had to choose, I would say it right now
[00:41.69] I wanna get him back
[00:43.52] I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad
[00:46.88] Oh, I wanna get him back
[00:49.78] 'Cause then again, I really miss him and it makes me real sad
[00:53.07] Oh, I want sweet revenge
[00:55.93] And I want him again
[00:59.53] I want to get him back, back, back
[01:04.85] So I write him all these letters, then I throw them in the trash
[01:07.57] 'Cause I miss the way he kisses and the way he made me laugh
[01:10.76] Yeah, I pour my little heart out, but as I'm hitting "send"
[01:13.90] I picture all the faces of my disappointed friends
[01:16.58] Because everyone knew the guy was missing the screws
[01:19.43] He said I was the only girl, but that just wasn't the truth
[01:22.46] And when I told him how he hurt me, he told me I was trippin'
[01:25.10] But I am my father's daughter, so maybe I could fix him
[01:28.77] I wanna get him back
[01:31.39] I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad
[01:34.32] Oh, I wanna get him back
[01:37.07] 'Cause then again, I really miss him and it makes me real sad
[01:40.31] Oh, I want sweet revenge
[01:43.25] And I want him again
[01:46.55] I want to get him back (And then? And then)
[01:52.55] I want to get him back, back, back
[01:57.98] I wanna key his car (I want to get him back)
[02:00.68] I wanna make him lunch (But then I, I want to get him back)
[02:03.64] I wanna break his heart (But then I, I want to get him back)
[02:06.58] Then be the one to stitch it up (But then I, I want to get him back)
[02:10.18] Wanna kiss his face (But then I, I want to get him back)
[02:12.88] With an uppercut (But then I, I want to get him back)
[02:15.84] I wanna meet his mom (But then I, I want to get him back)
[02:18.83] Just to tell her her son sucks (But then I, I want to get him back)
[02:21.79] Oh, I wanna key his car, I wanna make him lunch
[02:24.27] (But then I, I want to get him back; I want to)
[02:24.42] I wanna break his heart, stitch it right back up
[02:27.47] (But then I, I want to get him back; get him back)
[02:27.73] I wanna kiss his face with an uppercut
[02:30.37] (But then I, I want to get him back; I want to)
[02:30.61] I wanna meet his mom
[02:32.17] And tell her her son sucks, yeah
[02:33.44] (But then I, I want to get him back; get him back)
[02:33.77] I wanna get him back
[02:36.56] I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad
[02:39.51] Oh, I wanna get him back
[02:42.20] 'Cause then again, I really miss him and it makes me real sad
[02:45.74] Oh, I want sweet revenge
[02:48.12] And I want him again
[02:51.87] I want to get him back (And then? And then)
[02:57.22] I want to get him back (Back, back)
[03:06.13] I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him back (Woo-hoo)
[03:10.94] Get him back (Come on, come on, woo)
[03:15.83] I'm gonna get him so good, he's not even gonna know what hit him
[03:19.99] He's gonna love me and hate me at the same time
[03:22.60] (Get him back, girl, you better get him back)
[03:23.90] (You got it, got it)
[03:25.97] Oh, I don't know, I got him good, I got him really good
[03:28.86]
