  1. One, two, three

  2. Wait, is this the song with the drums?

  3. I met a guy in the summer and I left him in the spring

  4. He argued with me about everything

  5. He had an ego and a temper and a wandering eye

  6. He said he's six-foot-two, and I'm like, "Dude, nice try"

  7. But he was so much fun, and he had such weird friends

  8. And he would take us out to parties and the night would never end

  9. Another song, another club, another bar, another dance

  10. And when he said something wrong, he'd just fly me to France

  11. So I miss him some nights when I'm feelin' depressed

  12. 'Til I remember every time he made a pass on my friend

  13. Do I love him? Do I hate him? I guess it's up and down

  14. If I had to choose, I would say it right now

  15. I wanna get him back

  16. I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad

  17. Oh, I wanna get him back

  18. 'Cause then again, I really miss him, and it makes me real sad

  19. Oh, I want sweet revenge and I want him again

  20. I want to get him back, back, back

  21. So I write him all these letters and I throw them in the trash

  22. 'Cause I miss the way he kisses and the way he made me laugh

  23. Yeah, I pour my little heart out but as I'm hittin' send

  24. I picture all the faces of my disappointed friends

  25. Because everyone knew all of the shit that he'd do

  26. He said I was the only girl, but that just wasn't the truth

  27. And when I told him how he hurt me, he'd tell me I was trippin'

  28. But I am my father's daughter, so maybe I could fix him

  29. I wanna get him back

  30. I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad

  31. Oh, I wanna get him back

  32. 'Cause then again, I really miss him, and it makes me real sad

  33. Oh, I want sweet revenge and I want him again

  34. I want to get him back (and then? And then)

  35. I want to get him back, back, back

  36. I wanna key his car (I want to get him back)

  37. I wanna make him lunch (but then I, I want to get him back)

  38. I wanna break his heart (but then I, I want to get him back, yeah, you got it)

  39. Then be the one to stitch it up (but then I, I want to get him back)

  40. Wanna kiss his face (but then I, I want to get him back)

  41. With an uppercut (but then I, I want to get him back)

  42. I wanna meet his mom (but then I, I want to get him back)

  43. Just to tell her her son sucks, oh (but then I, I want to get him back)

  44. Oh, I wanna key his car, I wanna make him lunch (but then I, I want to get him back)

  45. I wanna break his heart, stitch it right back up (but then I, I want to get him back)

  46. I wanna kiss his face with an uppercut (but then I, I want to get him back)

  47. I wanna meet his mom and tell her her son sucks, yeah (but then I, I want to get him back)

  48. I wanna get him back

  49. I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad

  50. Oh, I wanna get him back

  51. 'Cause then again, I really miss him, and it makes me real sad

  52. Oh, I want sweet revenge and I want him again

  53. I want to get him back (and then? And then)

  54. I want to get him back, back, back

  55. I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him back (whoo!)

  56. Get him back (c'mon, c'mon, whoo)

  57. I'm gonna get him so good

  58. He's not even gonna know what hit him

  59. He's gonna love me and hate me at the same time

  60. (Get him back, girl, you better get him back)

  61. (You got it? Got it)

  62. Oh, I don't know, I got him good, I got him really good

get him back!

One, two, three

Wait, is this the song with the drums?

I met a guy in the summer and I left him in the spring

He argued with me about everything

He had an ego and a temper and a wandering eye

He said he's six-foot-two, and I'm like, "Dude, nice try"

But he was so much fun, and he had such weird friends

And he would take us out to parties and the night would never end

Another song, another club, another bar, another dance

And when he said something wrong, he'd just fly me to France

So I miss him some nights when I'm feelin' depressed

'Til I remember every time he made a pass on my friend

Do I love him? Do I hate him? I guess it's up and down

If I had to choose, I would say it right now

I wanna get him back

I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad

Oh, I wanna get him back

'Cause then again, I really miss him, and it makes me real sad

Oh, I want sweet revenge and I want him again

I want to get him back, back, back

So I write him all these letters and I throw them in the trash

'Cause I miss the way he kisses and the way he made me laugh

Yeah, I pour my little heart out but as I'm hittin' send

I picture all the faces of my disappointed friends

Because everyone knew all of the shit that he'd do

He said I was the only girl, but that just wasn't the truth

And when I told him how he hurt me, he'd tell me I was trippin'

But I am my father's daughter, so maybe I could fix him

I wanna get him back

I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad

Oh, I wanna get him back

'Cause then again, I really miss him, and it makes me real sad

Oh, I want sweet revenge and I want him again

I want to get him back (and then? And then)

I want to get him back, back, back

I wanna key his car (I want to get him back)

I wanna make him lunch (but then I, I want to get him back)

I wanna break his heart (but then I, I want to get him back, yeah, you got it)

Then be the one to stitch it up (but then I, I want to get him back)

Wanna kiss his face (but then I, I want to get him back)

With an uppercut (but then I, I want to get him back)

I wanna meet his mom (but then I, I want to get him back)

Just to tell her her son sucks, oh (but then I, I want to get him back)

Oh, I wanna key his car, I wanna make him lunch (but then I, I want to get him back)

I wanna break his heart, stitch it right back up (but then I, I want to get him back)

I wanna kiss his face with an uppercut (but then I, I want to get him back)

I wanna meet his mom and tell her her son sucks, yeah (but then I, I want to get him back)

I wanna get him back

I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad

Oh, I wanna get him back

'Cause then again, I really miss him, and it makes me real sad

Oh, I want sweet revenge and I want him again

I want to get him back (and then? And then)

I want to get him back, back, back

I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him back (whoo!)

Get him back (c'mon, c'mon, whoo)

I'm gonna get him so good

He's not even gonna know what hit him

He's gonna love me and hate me at the same time

(Get him back, girl, you better get him back)

(You got it? Got it)

Oh, I don't know, I got him good, I got him really good
