Lyrics:

Now go stand in the corner
And think about what you did

The story starts when it was hot
And it was summer and I had it all
I had him right where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone
And let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
I never saw it coming
Wouldn't have suspected it
I am the rest of me
And just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain
Was beating in me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from

She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
But she's better known
For the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't
Make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I
Do better than revenge

She looks at life like it's
A party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend
And she's so over it
I think her ever present
Frown is a little troubling
And she thinks I'm psycho
Cause I like to rhyme her name with things
But sophistication isn't
What you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down
To get to where you wanna go
They wouldn't teach you that
In prep school so it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
But she's better known
For the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't
Make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There's is nothing I
Do better than revenge

I'm just another thing for you
To roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you
To roll your eyes at honey
You might have him but I always get the last word

She's not a saint
And she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
But she's better known
For the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys
On the playground won't
Make you many friends
She should keep in mind
She should keep in mind
There's is nothing I
Do better than revenge

Do you still feel like
You know what you're doing
Cause I don't think you do
Do you still feel like
You know what you're doing
I don't think you do
I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
Come on show me
How much better you are
So you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better
She took him faster than
You can say sabotage
