another grand surprise 
your rapier wit cut me down to size 
you love to pass your time 
looking for ways to play the thorn in my side 
it's d?j? vu one more time 

whoever said to take it on the chin 
whoever said that good guys always win 
has never seen the sorry state i'm in 
a victim of romanticide again 

my little atom bomb 
this is the last time you'll do me wrong 
so listen when i speak 
i can't go on forever turning my cheek 
your whipping boy's about to speak 

chorus 

i've paid my bills and cleaned out my closet 
slammed the front door tight 
i can't believe that i ever thought 
this all would work out right 

chorus 

whoever said to get down on your knees 
give your ground or try your best to please 
has never seen my lonely misery 
a victim of romanticide that's me
