PayBack
Selectracks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First time, done me wrong, I was too eager, you were too strong I swore then, I swear right now, that'll never happen again
I've come a long way to avenge myself!
I want payback, I come to take what's mine
I want payback, baby it's my chance to shine
Cause this is payback, I wanna see you burn
You got a hard new lesson to learn
I want payback, I come to take what's mine
I want payback, baby cause you crossed the line
Cause this is payback, I'll have you on your knees
Cause this time, I ain't afraid to bleed.
This time, its my turn, you're gonna pay for something I've earned
Don't want to hear you cry but it makes no difference to me
I'm here to pay you out, you're here to get what's paid out
I've come a long way to avenge myself!
I want payback, I come to take what's mine
I want payback baby it's my chance to shine
Cause this is payback, I wanna see you burn
You got a hard new lesson to learn
I want payback, I come to take what's mine
I want payback baby cause you crossed the line
Cause this is the payback, I'll have you on your knees
Cause this time, I ain't afraid to bleed.
This time, this time is my time
This time is my time!
Payback!
I want payback!
