She Got Even

"She Got Even"

Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.

My girlfriend and my ex got together one night

I thought for sure it would turn out to be a cat fight

Instead they started drinkin' and comparin' notes

Yours truly, the subject and my infamous quotes

Soon she discovered I'd used the same lines on 'em both

And gave 'em each the same exact love letters that I'd wrote

I told her I'd been faithful, that the ex and I were through

But she learned I'd had my cake and I'd been eatin' it too

I did some bad things, some lyin' and some cheatin'

I've got to admit I deserved to get a beatin'

I thought she'd get upset, and maybe she'd be leavin'

She coulda got mad, but oh no, she got even

I apologized, and to my surprise, she said she'd accept

Incredibly, she said that she'd forgive and forget

She threw a big party, even baked me a cake

Served me with a smile that I soon found out was fake

Later I realized my piece was more than just a snack

It had a secret ingredient – a whole box of ex-lax

She treated me like a king, then I spent the whole night on the throne

The next day I prayed to God she'd never come back home

I did some bad things, some lyin' and some cheatin'

I've got to admit I deserved to get a beatin'

I thought she'd get upset, and maybe she'd be leavin'

She coulda got mad, but oh no, she got even

I did some bad things, some lyin' and some cheatin'

I've got to admit I deserved to get a beatin'

I thought she'd get upset, and maybe she'd be leavin'

She coulda got mad, but oh no, she got even
