Since you've been gone I feel so much better

Cause I saw how mean you could be

I used to want some explanation

Now all I want is my Patsy Cline CD



How I've waited for today

When I could finally say



You jerk

You jerk

You are such a jerk

There are other words

But they just don't work



Sometimes I wish I'd mailed you that letter

That said the things I dare not say

Instead I set the thing on fire

I had to say this outloud anyway



I'm so glad I found the nerve

To say what you deserve



You jerk

You jerk

You are such a jerk

There are other words

But they just don't work



They try to be so cool

Insult you like a fool

Never take your call when you're nobody at all

Until you're somebody and then they want to be your friend

How come jerks don't know they're jerks

(I don't know)



So next time someone makes you feel little

Just sing this song inside your head

And like a great big cartoon bubble

These lovely words will dance above their head



How I've waited for today

When I could finally say



You jerk

You jerk

You are such a jerk

There are other words

But they just don't work



You jerk

You jerk

You are such a jerk

There are other words

But they just don't work
