Payback Is A Bitch

Well I couldn't see his punches but I felt them alright
First he closed my left eye and then he closed the right
I was only twelve and he was sixteen
And the ref had to stop that fight in the ring
And he wouldn't even shake my hand

Payback time payback time and payback is a bitch
Yeah payback is a bitch

Well I saw him in a bar when I was forty-three

His head hit the ground and he did not move
I felt so bloody scared oh what should I do
Now I'm sitting in a police car

And I wish that I had never seen his face
What'll happen to me if he's not ok?
Payback time payback time and payback is a bitch
Uh huh payback time payback time and payback is a bitch
Payback is a bitch
Payback is a bitch
A bitch
Payback is a bitch
Well my synchronization wasn't on at times but I...
