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

Blondie

Blondie is an American rock band, founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American New Wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including "Call Me", "Atomic" and "Heart of Glass" and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco,pop,rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a New Wave band. more »
