Paybacks

Well, I’m sitting at home, drinking alone, I’ve been
   waiting for my man
Said he’d be here two hours ago, looks like
   he lied to me again
There’s no use sitting at home getting myself all upset.
They say I‘m a witch
Paybacks are a bitch

When I was young my momma said, “Don’t let no man step on you”
And if he does there’s only really one thing you can do
Give it back ten times worse, show him some attitude
They say I’m a witch
Paybacks are a bitch

Chorus:
It’s payback time, I’m stepping over the line
I’m putting on my red dress
I’m going downtown, gonna’ mess around
Doing what I do best

I’m packing my gun in my purse in case I have a problem
And if he shows up acting a fool, well, I know just how to drop him
No, I ain’t no girl next door, I’m sorry if that brings you down
They say I’m a witch
Paybacks are a bitch

Chorus

I learned a long time ago, no man is forever
‘Specially if he’s putting you down, thinking he’s so big and clever
If you ever lay a hand to me I’ll put you right back into your place
They say I’m a witch
They say I’m a witch
They say I’m a witch
Paybacks are a bitch
