Now  deny your compensation
 So put the pardon in me

 It pays to tell me I'm forgiven
 Raise the standard  stop reliving
 Don't worry that anyone won't want you to
 'Cause nobody likes acquitters

 I need a list of all the ways to get even
 If I'm going to keep track of them
 I'll need to list off the number of reasons
 Why I'm turning my back on them
 Suppose they close the door
 Suppose they close it for good

 Don't worry that anyone won't want you to
 Eye for an eye is no way to get even
 When you think that fair is square
 You can be forgiven
 I will not forget

 There are times I wonder why
 That you should forgive
 I fantasize that you can hit them
 Right where they live
 Don't worry that anyone won't want you to
 Cause nobody knows

 I made a list of all the ways to get even
 If I'm gonna get back at them
 I made the list up and you made it, I'm teasing
 But it's hard to keep track
 When you're watching your back
 But I gotta get back at them

 Suppose they close the door
 Suppose they close it for good
 Gonna put you on and on and on and on and on
 Gonna put you on and on and on and on and on
 Gonna put you on and on and on and on and on
