Lyrics

Revenge for Love

[Verse 1]

Don't need a saviour

Just to bail me out

I'll hold my breath until the water lets me out

And I say

Alimony never can pay

Hey, hey, hey

I'm on the breadline

You're on the answer phone

You're off the hook

And I'm left all alone

It's a shame

Passion isn't always to blame

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Oh, I don't need time

Just sweet revenge for love

Oh, I don't don't need time

Just sweet revenge for love

Don't say it's a crime

Just give me sweet revenge

[Verse 2]

Ooh, I'm undercover

Your love has overgrown

Retaliation is emotion I have shown

And I say

All the money never could pay

Hey, hey, hey

I'm on the level

You're on the second floor

I'm counting seconds

As my hand goes for the door

It's a shame

Pleasure isn't always the same

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Oh, I don't need time

Just sweet revenge for love

Oh, I don't need time

Just sweet revenge for love

Don't say it's a crime

Just give me sweet revenge

[Post-Chorus]

I need revenge for love

Revenge for love

Revenge for love

Revenge for love

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

Don't need a saviour

Just to bail me out

I'll hold my breath until the water lets me out

And I say

Alimony never can pay

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Oh, I don't need time

Just sweet revenge for love

Oh, I don't need time

Just sweet revenge for love

Don't say it's a crime

Just give me sweet revenge

[Outro]

Oh, I need it, ooh I need it, ooh I need it, revenge for love

Sweet revenge for love

Oh, I don't need time

Just sweet revenge for love

Don't say it's a crime

Just give me sweet revenge
