Lyrics

I told her, don't you break my heart,
I told her, don't you do me wrong.
I told her, don't you know songwriter's revenge
Is here in my guitar, it's payback in a song.
I'll write a ditty you'll regret,
When it's viral on the internet.
But she just rolled her eyes, and shook her pretty head,
Checked her little mirror, and this is what she said:

Say whatever you want, if the song's about me.
And when you get to the part where you mention my name,
Repeat it endlessly.
Sing it over and over and over again,
Punching my ticket to fame.
Songwriter's revenge,
It makes 'em all remember my name.

I said, girl, do you wanna be another Delilah?
Or Maybellene why can't you be true?
Or Ruby don't you take your love to town?
When people hear my song they'll see the fickle side of you.
They'll snicker at you on the street,
They'll be whistling my melody.
She laughed right in my face, she said you silly boy,
The famous names you're dropping, they only prove my point:
(REPEAT CHORUS)

No we didn't stay together,
She didn't take long to say so long.
But now I feel a whole lot better
When I sing my payback song:

I'll say whatever I want, 'cause this song's about her.
And if I get to the part where I mention her name,
I know it's gonna hurt.
Sing it over and over and over again,
That was her ticket to fame.
Songwriter's revenge
Is I'm not gonna tell you her name.
Yeah, songwriter's revenge
On good old What's-Her-Name.
Good old What's-Her-Name.
What was her name?
