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.
