Busted
Phineas and Ferb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see the things you're doing, and you think that I'm naïve
But when I get the goods on you, she'll finally believe
Oh she says it's all just drama, but every bubble's got to pop
She's gonna see just what you're doing
And then you're finally gonna have to stop!

Don't think you're gonna win this time
'Cause you better believe I'm gonna drop a dime on you
I'll get ya! I'll get ya!
And when I do, you're gonna be busted

Busted!
I don't wanna put the hurt on you
But you better believe it when I tell you that I've finally got the dirt on you
You're busted
Busted!
Yeah she's finally gonna see the light
This is how it's gonna be when she finds out that I was always right
You're busted!

There's a new cop on the beat
And I'm bringing down the heat
My eyes are wise to all your lies
'Cause you're not that discreet

And I don't care what you've heard, 'cause there's one six-letter word
It's gonna set me free (gonna set me free)
Starts with a B (starts with a B)
Goes B-U-S-T-E-D you are busted!

Busted!
I don't wanna put the hurt on you
But you better believe it when I tell you that I've finally got the dirt on you (I'll get ya!)
You're busted (don't think you're gonna win this time)
Busted!
Yeah she's finally gonna see the light (drop a dime on you)




This is how it's gonna be when she finds out that I was always right (I'll get ya! I'll get ya!)
You're busted!
