1ST VERSE:
You played around when I was gone
But I got hip to what went on
When I returned I left no doubt
I kept my cool, but threw you out
And now you come with heart in hand
You're begging me to understand
(??lyric??) for what's in store
And now's my chance
To even the score
CHORUS:
Even the score -- You cheated and lied
Even the score -- The tears that I cried
Even the score -- Watch you crumble inside
Even the score -- There's no place you can hide

3RD VERSE:
You think I'm dumb and blind
You've come too late to change my mind
Just ask someone who's tried before
