I left a note on the mirror, took the keys to the brand new car So don't get mad at me, 'cause you know you treat me wrong It couldn't be any clearer, it already went too far So don't get mad at me, 'cause you know you treat me wrong Don't need your sympathy, I know you're not over me, over me And with a little sugar on the side I'll be fine, I'll be fine I'd kill to see, when your eyes get a hold of me, hold of me And with a little sugar on the side I'll be fine, I'll be fine You whispered words in the darkness, turned everything upside down So don't get mad at me, 'cause you know you treat me wrong You lied all about, I figured it out, and then you went and left it on your phone So don't get mad at me, 'cause you know you treat me wrong Don't need your sympathy, I know you're not over me, over me And with a little sugar on the side I'll be fine, I'll be fine I'd kill to see, when your eyes get a hold of me, hold of me And with a little sugar on the side I'll be fine, I'll be fine I left a note on the mirror, took the keys to the brand new car So don't get mad at me, 'cause you know you treat me wrong You whispered words in the darkness, turned everything upside down So don't get mad at me, 'cause you know you treat me wrong Don't need your sympathy, I know you're not over me, over me And with a little sugar on the side I'll be fine, I'll be fine I'd kill to see, when your eyes get a hold of me, hold of me And with a little sugar on the side I'll be fine, I'll be fine
