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 out loud 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 comes jerks don`t know they`re jerks

(I don`t know)

So next time someone makes you feel little

Just sing this song inside you 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
