I wondered what you were thinkin' as you left my place
Oblivious to the dab of drool on the side of your face
You told me I was a bum, and you're goin' to leave
Just as soon as I knelt down to help ya find your car keys
You were a sexy little thing, albeit a bit deranged
You took half my CDs and my jar of change
Talkin' proud of yourself, nose up high I bet
Yeah, you mighta scored a hit, but I ain't dead yet
If you wanna bring me down
You're gonna have to do better than that
Cuz if you wanna piss me off
You're gonna have to do better than that
You know wise men never regret the past'
You ain't the first, babe, and you sure ain't the last
So if you want me to feel it
You're gonna have to do better than that
And if you wanna piss me off
You're gonna have to do better than that
You told me you were sick of my biting sarcasms
Ya never minded my mouth when it gave ya orgasms
When you said my lack of class most assuredly shows
I thought of that time I caught you pickin' your nose
Told me to go to hell and said my friends were all chumps
Now I'm kinda looking forward to some quiet for once
Go ahead darlin', be all the bitch you can be
It takes a meaner dog to get a rise outta me
If you wanna bring me down
You're gonna have to do better than that
Cuz if you wanna piss me off
You're gonna have to do better than that
Most folks would be sad in an empty bed...
Don't matter to me cuz you gave lousy head
So if you want me to feel it
You're gonna have to do better than that
And if you wanna piss me off
You're gonna have to do better than that
I'll fondly remember all our good times together
But now I'm sure you're only a friend in fair weather
You wanna be friends' Oh, I think I'll pass
Seems your only good side left is your ass
Not gonna look back, got my own shit to consider
I'm not even gonna waste time bein' bitter
Had quite high hopes for us right from the start
Just claimed I was cool, never said I was smart
If you wanna bring me down
You're gonna have to do better than that
Cuz if you wanna piss me off
You're gonna have to do better than that
All those years, right down the drain
But just pass me a beer and I'll forget your name
So if you want me to feel it
You're gonna have to do better than that
And if you wanna piss me off
You're gonna have to do better than that
