Took my money took my car
Took my records my guitar
Took my diamond ring
And high-heeled shoes
Left without a word to say
Left me with the bills to pay
Ain't no wonder why
I'm singing the blues

Life's a bitch
Women get hurt and men get rich
Shouldn't oughta always be that way
When there's nothing left to lose
There's only one thing left to do
Don't get mad, get even
Now listen when I say

Now listen up and listen good
Take my advice - you know you should
Never be the one
Who's left behind
Don't let your man treat you bad
Just get even don't get mad
Or else one day you'll wake up
And you'll find

Life's a bitch
Women get hurt and men get rich
Shouldn't oughta always be that way
When there's nothing left to lose
There's only one thing left to do
Don't get mad, get even
Now listen when I say

Don't wash his shirts, don't do the dishes
No more lovin', no more kisses
Tell him all the things he'll miss
Tell him that his kids ain't his
(And) then to even up the score
Throw his suitcase on the floor
Then kick that man right outta that door
('Cos) you're not takin' any more of this

It's been a while since he's been gone
I made a new life on my own
Found me some new friends
Along the way
Straightened out my mind at last
Turned my back upon the past
If he dares cross my path
He'll have to pay

Life's a bitch
Women get hurt and men get rich
Shouldn't oughta always be that way
When there's nothing left to lose
There's only one thing left to do
Don't get mad, get even
Now listen when I say
Don't get mad, get even
