AmBut he was far Bmahead, 
AmHe smiled at me and Gsuddenly 
AmI laid down in his Abed. 
AmAnd so far it was peErfect, but sAomething wasn't riDght, 
Because I tAmhought of him the whole next Eday, 
AmAnd dreamt of him all nCight.
AmAnd soon I was his Ebaby, 
AmMy god I was nDaive, 
Cause Amhe was fine and Ghe was mine,
AmI simply couldn't Aleave. 
AmOne day I came home eEarly and found hAmim in a cChair, 
AmBut over him sat Gmy best friend,
AmAnd guess what she did Athere. 
CHORUS
        A  DmWell I know I had it comAming,

And he really made me dE7rool, 
He made Dmme feel impoAmrtant, 
He Dmknew just what to say, 
But you can Embet your ass I really made him pAay." 
Interlude:
Am(plaAyeEd AmwhiGle Ahumming)
Well I didn't care about her, 
I let her run away, 
He said 'oh please I'm sorry' 
And I said 'but you will pay.' 
Then he tried to escape me, but I was far ahead, 
I found a knife and took his life, 
Oh god how much he bled. 
And then I cut him up in pieces, 
My handsome charming midge, 
I sorted him in big black bags, 
And put him in the fridge. 
Now I am a man-eater, in more than just one way... 
He tastes like pig, but that's okay, 
I eat him every day. 
Chorus
Well I know I had it coming, 
I know I was a fool, 
Cause he really made me trust me 
And he really made me drool, 
He made me feel important, 
He knew just what to say, 
But you can bet your ass I really made him pay.
