about

After being cheated on one too many times by her boyfriend Marlon Brando, Rita Moreno has an unfulfilling revenge affair with Elvis Presley.

lyrics

Is it giving you a thrill just to see me break?
Do you want to find out just how much more I can take?
I thought the worst was behind us and we’d be alright
Until I found another nightgown in the laundry last night

And I could curse your name and fall to the floor
Or I could take it as a challenge to settle the score
That’s what I’ll do
And give it right back to you

And I know just the man to call to send you through the roof

Until the day I’m sure that I can call you mine
I got the king waiting for me on the other line
Because if my sensitivities don’t give you pause
Then you can put money on it that I’ll prey on yours

And I’m not ready yet to run or set you free
But I can teach you a lesson not to fuck with me
That’s what I’ll do
And give it right back to you

Want you to feel each ounce of pain you’ve put me through

I wanna shatter your ego and make you rage
Oh just to see if I still can
So would your flame ignite if I spent the night
Held in the arms of another man?

Imagine how he moved, his magnitude
Be driven mad by the song and dance
A sweet love makin’ machine groomed in brilliantine
And wearing taut black leather pants

And I know that we could be so happy baby
If you wanted to be
You could treat me like a lady
You could let me have your baby
A love story for the ages, you and me

And it’s not a Blue Hawaii, it’s a Desiree
Why do I just think of you each time I try to stray?

Never mind the fact that the sex was lacking
Revenge was a hit and run
That mama’s boy only makes love to sandwiches
But hey, the damage still got done

When you hear the truth, I hope it ruins you
Cause it’s the only way you’ll learn
So throw a chair, crack a plate, feel your spirit break
Now it’ll finally be your turn

Who am I kidding with this spiteful love?
Means nothing when you’re the one I’m thinking of
