Your venom is pretty and poisonous
I can taste it on your lips
How did you ever get past me?
How exactly did you give me the slip?
How did you fool so many?
So many times and for so long
Like getting married for quick money
And then you were again long gone
But karma has a way of catching up
It’s there to show up truth from lies
It’s too late now for another act
Take a bow and say goodbye
You’re not getting any younger, dear
No time to restart engines again
You’ve run outta more fools to use
Not every sucker punch is the same
Been playing poker for way too long
It’s knowing when to cash it in
Can smell when someone’s bluffing
Playing the right cards is everything
You’ve played dirty and done the maths
You were looking after number one
Think I don’t know what you did?
How you even seduced her son?
Family is always everything
Family is outta bounds
No one comes between family
There’s always a guardian angel around
They appear in many disguises
And leave when their work is done
They’re patient and wait for the moment
When they see things coming undone
They know every dark secret
Payback time is shining bright
And then when you least expect it
He smiles and blow out all your lights
