VERSE
You told me that
There wasn't a lesson in lovin'
That you hadn't learned.
Oh yeah?
Oh yeah?
You told me that you keep playin' with fire
Without getting burned.
Oh yeah?
Oh yeah?
REFRAIN
So you met someone
Who set you back on your heels-
Goody goody!
So you met someone
And now you know how it feels-
Goody goody!
So you gave him your heart too,
Just as I gave mine to you,
And he broke it in little pieces,
Now how do you do?
So you lie awake
Just singin' the blues all night-
Goody goody!
So you think that love's
A barrel of dynamite.
Hooray and hallelujah,
You had it comin' to ya.
Goody goody for him,
Goody goody for me,
And I hope you're satisfied,
You rascal, you!
