How was your mother with the news?
Did she really like me?
I know that I ain't the nicest girl
But tell her, I'm trying

I'm trying to clean up the house that I live in
And I'm trying to pay off all the debts I made
And I'm trying to make myself look pretty with make up
Oh Lord, I try, but your mom looks at me with those evil eyes

'Cause I messed you up in a bitter twist tonight
Hit the floor and took you down
I've always found that I messed you up in a bitter twist tonight
Hit the floor and took you down, I'm a changed woman from now

So I dream and my dreams have always failed
I come across frightening
And you're an achiever with high grades
So why do you like me?

But if you're gonna stay, I'll be what you want me to be
And if you stick around, I'll make you breakfast right
And just hold on a little bit longer, my baby
I tell you now, once I was lost but now I'm found

'Cause I messed you up in a bitter twist tonight
Hit the floor and took you down
I've always found that, that I messed you up in a bitter twist tonight
Hit the floor and took you down, I'm a changed woman from

And now, 'cause I messed you up in a bitter twist tonight
Hit the floor and took you down
I've always found that, that I messed you up in a bitter twist tonight
Hit the floor and took you down, I'm a changed woman from now

The day that I realized that I did you wrong
Tying both your hands and heart so I can run on
Weak girl with a messed up mind
That's what I want, breaking down in desperate heartache
If I could take it back I'd give you any sort of money

'Cause I messed you up in a bitter twist
And I hit the floor
I've always found that, that I messed you up in a bitter twist tonight
Hit the floor and took you down, I'm a changed woman from now

I messed you up in a bitter twist
And I hit the floor and took you down
I've always found that I messed you up in a bitter twist tonight
Hit the floor and took you down, I'm a changed woman from now
