        A#
I met a guy in the summer,
and I left him in the spring
   C
He argued with me about everything
          A#
He had an ego and a temper, and a wandering eye
              C
He said he's six foot two, and I'm like,
"Dude, nice try"
           A#
But he was so much fun, and he had such
weird friends
              C
And he would take us out to parties,
and the night would never end
        A#
Another song, another club, another bar,
another dance
          C
And when he said, "Something wrong?",
he'd just fly me to France
      A#
So I miss him some nights when
I'm feelin' depressed
          C
'Til I remember every time he made
a pass on my friend
      A#
Do I love him? Do I hate him?
I guess it's up and down
      C
If I had to choose, I would say it right now

Chorus:
A#
I wanna get him back
         C
I wanna make him really jealous,
wanna make him feel bad
    A#
Oh, I wanna get him back
              C
'Cause then again,
I really miss him, and it makes me real sad
  A#
Oh, I want sweet revenge
C
And I want him again
A#                 C
I want to get him back (Back, back)

So I write him all these letters and
I throw them in the trash
'Cause I miss the way he kisses and
the way he made me laugh
Yeah, I pour my little heart out, but
as I'm hitting "send"
I picture all the faces of my disappointed friends
Because everyone knew all of the shit
that he'd do
He said I was the only girl, but that
just wasn't the truth
And when I told him how he hurt me,
he'd tell me I was trippin'
But I am my father's daughter, so maybe
I could fix him

Chorus"
I wanna get him back
I wanna make him really jealous,
wanna make him feel bad
Oh, I wanna get him back
'Cause then again,
I really miss him and it makes me real sad
Oh, I want sweet revenge and I want him again
I want to get him back (And then? And then)
I want to get him back, back, back

I wanna key his car
(I want to get him back)
I wanna make him lunch
(But then I, I want to get him back; woo)
I wanna break his heart
(But then I, I want to get him back; yeah,
you got it)
Then be the one to stitch it up
(But then I, I want to get him back; yeah)
Wanna kiss his face
(But then I, I want to get him back)
With an uppercut
 (But then I, I want to get him back)
I wanna meet his mom
(But then I, I want to get him back)
Just to tell her her son sucks
(But then I, I want to get him back)
Oh, I wanna key his car, I wanna make him lunch
(But then I, I want to get him back; I want to)
I wanna break his heart, stitch it right back up
(But then I, I want to get him back; get him back)
I wanna kiss his face with an uppercut
(But then I, I want to get him back; I want to)
I wanna meet his mom and tell her her
son sucks, yeah (But then I,
I want to get him back; get him back)

Chorus:
I wanna get him back
I wanna make him really
jealous, wanna make him feel bad
Oh, I wanna get him back
'Cause then again,
I really miss him and it makes me real sad
Oh, I want sweet revenge and I want him again
I want to get him back (And then? And then)
I want to get him back, back, back

I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him,
I'll get him back (Woo-hoo)
Get him back (Come on, come on, woo)
I'm gonna get him so good,
he's not even gonna know what hit him
He's gonna love me and hate me at the same time
(Get him back, girl, you better get him back)
(You got it, got it)
Oh, I don't know, I got him good,
I got him really good
