Big surprise, I didn’t see it coming
All your lies caught me with my pants down
Pick it up, I hope you’re good at running
‘Cos you don’t wanna see how ugly I can be

Lie awake, planning my revenge out
Big mistake to mess around with me
Don’t you know I got a reputation to uphold
So, baby, call me

Psycho – it’s a compliment
Crazy – I invented it
Oh, write me down in history
As the ex-girlfriend
Chalk it up to lessons learned
Play with fire, you’ll get burned
I gave you all the best that I could be
It’s only fair you get the worst of me
The worst of me

Remember when you used to call me ‘honey’
And now it seems, I’m sticky more than sweet
Just admit, I’m not what you expected
Tougher than you ever thought I could be, baby

Psycho – it’s a compliment
Crazy – I invented it
Oh, write me down in history
As the ex-girlfriend
Chalk it up to lessons learned
Play with fire, you’ll get burned
I gave you all the best that I could be
It’s only fair you get the worst of me

And I’m not so bad
But you make me sad
And I just had to get you back
So, call me

Psycho – it’s a compliment
Crazy – I invented it
Oh, write me down in history
As your very psycho ex-girlfriend

Psycho – it’s a compliment
Crazy – I invented it
Oh, write me down in history
As the ex-girlfriend
Chalk it up to lessons learned
Play with fire, you’ll get burned
I gave you all the best that I could be
I gave you all the best that I could be
It’s only fair you get the worst of me

Words fall out of my mouth
And I can’t seem to trace what I’m saying
Everybody wants your time
I’m just dreaming out loud
I can’t have you for mine and I know it
I just wanna watch you shine

Tripping up on my tongue
It’s all over my face and I’m racing
Got to get away from you
Burning all the way home
Try to put it to bed but it chases
Every little thing I do

When the light falls on your face
Don’t let it change you
When the stars get in your eyes
Don’t let it blind you, oh

You’re beautiful, just the way you are
And I love it all every line and every scar
And I wish that I could make you see
This is where you ought to be,
Come down to me

Spell it out in a song
Bet you never catch on to my weakness
I’m singing every word for you
Here I’m thinking I’m sly
Then you’re catching my eye and just maybe
You’re thinking what I’m thinking too

When you see it on my face
Don’t let it shake you, oh
I know better than to try
And take you with me

You’re beautiful just the way you are
And I love it all every line and every scar
And I wish that I could make you see
This is where you ought to be,
Come down to me
Come down to me

My hair’s a wreck
Mascara runs
My feet get dirty
And my skin burns in the sun
My lips they bleed,
But I still sing my songs
Takes me a minute
To admit it when I’m wrong.

Pretty is as pretty does,
But pretty’s not my thing.

This is what you get
This is who I am
Take me now or leave me,
Any way you can.
Sometimes I trip and fall
But I know where I stand.
And if you’re thinking about changing my direction,
Don’t mess with imperfection.

My back is weak,
But my will is true.
Got good intentions
But I never follow through.
I say too much,
And don’t know when to leave.
In case you’re looking,
That’s my heart there on my sleeve.

Ego trips and stupid slip-ups,
I’m a mess but –

This is what you get,
This is who I am
Take me now or leave me,
Any way you can.
Sometimes I trip and fall
But I know where I stand.
And if you’re thinking about changing my direction,
Don’t mess with imperfection.

Scratched and bruised,
A little used,
But baby I work fine.
You might call me
Damaged goods,
But I’m one of a kind.

My hair’s a wreck,
No, I’m not perfect
But I’m not the only one.

This is what you get
This is who I am
Take me now or leave me
Any way you can.
Sometimes I trip and fall
But I know where I stand.
And if you’re thinking about changing my direction,
Don’t mess with imperfection.

This is who I am
If you’re thinking about changing my direction,
Don’t mess with imperfection.
