- I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
- When somebody breaks your heart
- Some somebody twice as smart as I
-
- A somebody who will swear to be true
- As you used to do with me
- Who'll leave you to learn
- That mis'ry loves company, wait and see
-
- I mean, I wanna be around to see how he does it
- When he breaks your heart to bits
- Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine
-
- And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
- As I sit there applaudin' from a front-row seat
- When somebody breaks your heart
- Like you, like you broke mine
