The back of my hand, the back of my hand
I thought I knew you like the back of my hand
You acted so cruel, you know I can't stand
The things that you do 'cause you know that you --

Build me up just to break me down
Thought you were the one but I see you get around
I wanna go nuts when I see you on the town
You built me up just to break me down

Your hit so cold, your lips so bold
That every time I see you girl I'm in slow-mo
I used to have a heart of glass until it all froze
Maggie told me 'bout your little episode, no?
I caught you fibbin' what's the point in livin'?
Sister he's the winner so you give him the gold ribbon
I caught you lyin', now what's the point in tryin'?
I never thought you'd do me like that

PRE-CHORUS
Now I'm stuck here with all your little lies
And it's your fault I don't recognize.

CHORUS
The back of my hand, the back of my hand
I thought I knew you like the back of my hand
You acted so cruel, you know I can't stand
The things that you do 'cause you know that you can

The limo pulled up, I saw your new man
Bet he wouldn't hold up to the back of my hand
The back of my hand, the back of my hand
I thought I knew you like the back of my hand, girl

Late night girl, good morning
I called your phone and I could kind of hear some moaning
I crossed the line and all the signs were kind of warning
I saw the future like a mother fucking omen

It's my decision to go with my suspicions
Black magic woman, I believe in superstition
The way you treat me, you might as well be tricking.
I'm leaving and I'll never come back. No.

PRE-CHORUS
Now I'm stuck here with all your little lies
And it's your fault I don't recognize.

CHORUS
The back of my hand, the back of my hand
I thought I knew you like the back of my hand
You acted so cruel, you know I can't stand
The things that you do 'cause you know that you can

The limo pulled up, I saw your new man
Bet he wouldn't hold up to the back of my hand
The back of my hand, the back of my hand
I thought I knew you like the back of my hand, girl

All the lovin', the bed we made, they're all lies
Girl I hung in forever, hey, yeah, I tried
All the fun and the letters babe, they're all lies
Now it's done and forget it babe, now I'm wise

PRE-CHORUS
Now I'm stuck here with all your little lies
And it's your fault I don't recognize

The back of my hand, the back of my hand
I thought I knew you like the back of my hand
You acted so cruel, you know I can't stand
The things that you do 'cause you know that you can
The limo pulled up, I saw your new man
Bet he wouldn't hold up to the back of my hand

CHORUS
The back of my hand, the back of my hand
I thought I knew you like the back of my hand
You acted so cruel, you know I can't stand
The things that you do 'cause you know that you can
The limo pulled up, I saw your new man
Bet he wouldn't hold up to the back of my hand

The back of my hand, the back of my hand
I thought I knew you like the back of my hand girl
