Serves You Right

(album: Heavy Lifting - 2023)

Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry, cry, come on

Unhappy birthday, Christmas all alone
Lost hair and gained weight
They repossessed your ride and denied your loan
Turn on the radio, you hear that song again
That's when my phone rings
I've missed you babe

Hello, old friend
Your good times are no more
Now you wanna reminisce
Whaddya take me for

Oh no that's too bad
Can't believe it how about that
Mr. Big Shot crawling back
You must be on that crack
Broken-hearted baby that's rough
Sympathy on your rotten luck
Party over fade to black
So you've seen the light
Serves you right

Lost your dream job, that rash began to itch (boo oo oo hoo oo)
The champagne money dried up, and Miss Perfect said bye bye
Well, ain't that a shame
Turn off the radio, the static's in your head (too bad for you)
Don't sweat the small stuff, angel get over it

That's what you said
Your life is mess (so sorry to hear it)
Well, I'll tell you a secret, babe
The very last laugh is the very best

Oh no that's too bad
Can't believe it how about that
Mr. Big Shot crawling back
You must be on that crack
Broken-hearted baby that's rough
Sympathy on your rotten luck
Party over fade to black
So you can't sleep at night
Serves you right

Now wait a minute

I could be a bigger person
I could wish the best for you
But you reveled in my misery and my tears
And now you want sympathy from me, well honey
Boo hoo hoo
Sho nuff a shame about you
I think you fell and bumped your head

Oh no that's too bad
Can't believe it how about that
Mr. Big Shot ah, here you come, crawling back now, yeah
Broken-hearted baby that's rough
Sympathy on your rotten luck
Party over fade to black
And don't call back
Serves you right
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy
