I've been thinking about you, my love 
And all the crazy things that you put me through 
Now I'm coming around, Throwing it back to you 
Were you thinking of me when you kissed him 
Could you taste me when you licked his skin 
All the while I showered you with trust and promises 
What I'm needing now is some sweet revenge 
To get back all that I lost then 
I gave you all I had to give, but I could never reach you 

[Chorus] 
Adrienne, I thought I knew you 
Once again, you used me, used me 
Adrienne, I should have left you 
Long before you used me, Used me up 

Spent my money, drove my car 
I treated you like a shining star 
But in my sky all burnt out you are 
And I'll have the last laugh, when I see you walking with some other guy 
'Cause I know you're gone end up all alone 
So take these words, some good advice 
All you've done gonna come back twice 
You never cared how much it hurt, I really need to tell you 

[Chorus] 

What I'm needing now's some sweet revenge 
To get back all that I lost then 
I gave you all that I had to give, but I could never reach you 

[Chorus]
