Hey, jerk!

I’m talking to you!

I’m still getting over all the shit you put me through!

And still,

it’s totally clear:

I am so much better off these days ‘cause you’re not here!

At last,

I feel like I’m free.

Dropped your dead weight from my neck and I can just be me!

Can’t wait

to see how far I can go

without your constant voice inside my head telling me no.

You’re done

with holding me back!

Wasted too much of my life on you, don’t owe you jack!

And that feels great.

Hey, jerk, you’re never gonna get the chance to watch me suffocate!

You’re an asshole! You’re a pervert! You’re a heartless creep!

Tell me, what about all that I should have wanted to keep?

You are violent and angry and you’re always rude,

and you wonder why I never even miss you, dude!

Now I’m happy and I’m thriving, having so much fun.

All I had to do was say that you and me are done.

So, yeah.

It’s true!

Hey, jerk, I’m finally getting over being jerked around by you!

Hey, jerk!

I honestly tried

looking past all of the girls that you took for a ride.

Although

I knew it was wrong,

I bit my tongue and waited my turn while you strung them along.

But now,

I finally see.

The only girl you never even gave a chance was me!

You loved

putting me down,

except when showing me off got you shit all over town.

I’m glad

I got up and split.

I guess I was just the last girl to get sick of your shit.

Tough luck. That’s life!

Hey jerk, you’d best get used to it: I’m somebody else’s wife!

You’re an asshole! You’re a pervert! You’re a heartless creep!

Tell me, what about all that I should have wanted to keep?

You are violent and angry and you’re always rude,

and you wonder why I never even miss you, dude!

Now I’m happy and I’m thriving, having so much fun.

It’s true!

Hey, jerk, I’m finally getting over being jerked around by you!

Hey, jerk!

There’s not much to say.

I mean, hell, your father never liked me anyway.

I knew

that we couldn’t last.

One of us was always gonna feel like the outcast.

This thing

was killing us both,

so instead of shrinking in your shadow, I chose growth.

I’m proud

of myself because

the girl I am is so much stronger than the ghost I was.

I made

my choice.

Might have damn near broke my spirit, but I found my voice.

You had your turn!

Hey jerk, I am the star now, and all you can do is watch me burn!

You’re an asshole! You’re a pervert! You’re a heartless creep!

Tell me, what about all that I should have wanted to keep?

You are violent and angry and you’re always rude,

and you wonder why I never even miss you, dude!

Now I’m happy and I’m thriving, having so much fun.

All I had to do was say that you and me are done.

So, yeah.

It’s true!

Hey, jerk, I’m finally getting over being jerked around by you!

I knew,

right from the start,

it was gonna hurt like hell to cut you out of my heart.

I did

what I had to do.

Didn’t like the girl I was when I was still with you.

But I

put my brave face on,

and it gets easier for me every day that you’re gone.

I admit

that, from time to time,

I can still feel you bangin’ on the back door of my mind.

And, yeah,

I guess that is why

I wrote this song, so once and for all, I can say goodbye.

The answer’s no!

Hey, jerk, I’ve got what I want, and it’s time for me to let you go!

You’re an asshole! You’re a pervert! You’re a heartless creep!

Tell me, what about all that I should have wanted to keep?

You are violent and angry and you’re always rude,

and you wonder why I never even miss you, dude!

Now I’m happy and I’m thriving, having so much fun.

All I had to do was say that you and me are done.

So, yeah.

It’s true!

Hey, jerk, I’m never going back to being jerked around by you!
