Red sky this morning Was not much of a warning For what you had planned for me Hell hath no fury She’s the judge and she’s my jury She pulled the world Right out from under my feet
I’ll take it like a man No need of feeling sorry for me But you better understand Karma is about a step behind me
If I were you, I’d sleep with one eye open I’d keep praying keep hoping You oughta be watching your back If I were you, I’d be looking over my shoulder ’Cause every day gets closer to what’s coming for you Payback’s a bitch
Don’t be so foolish As to think you made it thru this Smelling like a rose and fancy free Don’t think you wrecked it I’ll get you when you least suspect it And tear down that old tangled web you weave
You’re looking at a man Shining happy like a brand new penny I bet you’re looking for a friend Everybody’s got a hand that’s empty
If I were you, I’d sleep with one eye open I’d keep praying keep hoping You oughta be watching your back If I were you, I’d be looking over my shoulder ’Cause every day gets closer to what’s coming for you Payback’s a bitch
If I were you I’d be careful of the stones I’m throwing I’d be blowing on the dice I’m rolling You oughta be watching your back If I were you I’d be looking ’round every corner Ain’t nobody ever gonna warn ya You know that it’s true Payback’s a bitch
