| 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 mis’ry 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 fits so fine |
| And that’s when I’ll discover that revenge is sweet |
| As I sit there applaudin' from a front-row seat |
| When somebody breaks your heart |
| Like you, like you broke mine |
