Don’t Get Mad, Get Even Lyrics by Mary Wilson

Former Ladies of The Supremes

2006

[Chorus]
Don't get mad, get even
He'll be sorry, you can bet
Don't get mad, get even
Teach him a lesson he'll never forget
[Verse 1]
Don't you copy my mistake
When every word he said was a fake
I got hurt, I was a fool
I never dreamed he could be so cruel
He just walked all over my pride
Laughin' while I cried inside
Now he's done the same thing to you
So take my advice and follow it through
[Chorus]
Don't get mad, get even
He'll be sorry, you can bet
Don't get mad, get even
Teach him a lesson he'll never forget
[Verse 2]
I couldn't take the evidence
Wanted to jump to his defense
I felt so deeply for the boy
But he just used me like a toy
Now I want the upper hand
To make him truly understand
His smile just leaves a bitter trace
So much time just went to waste
[Chorus]
Don't get mad, get even
He'll be sorry, you can bet
Don't get mad, get even
Teach him a lesson he'll never forget
[Bridge]
How many of us has he left in tears?
Don't let him treat people near this way
How many of us are facing their fears?
Good looks won't help him, he's gonna pay
[Chorus]
Don't get mad, get even (Don't get mad, girl)
He'll be sorry, you can bet (Stop feeling sorry for yourself)
Don't get mad, get even (Uh-huh)
Teach him a lesson he'll never forget
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
We had a love I couldn't replace
'Til he threw it back in my face
All his words were empty lies
And I supported his alibies
Now I'm stronger than before
And it's time to settle the score
He's gonna beg for mercy now
I will make him sorry somehow
[Chorus]
Don't get mad, get even (Oh no, no)
He'll be sorry, you can bet
Don't get mad, get even (Yeah)
Teach him a lesson he'll never forget (No, no, girl)
Don't get mad, get even (No, no, no, girl)
He'll be sorry, you can bet (Keep on smilin')
Don't get mad, get even
Teach him a lesson he'll never forget
