[Intro]
Mmm, uh-huh, mmm
Oooh
Hey, whoa, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
[Verse 1]
You were so blind to let me go
You had it all but didn't know
No one you'll find will ever be
Closer to all your dreams than me
Believing the grass would be greener
You told yourself "I just don't need her now"
But I know you'll soon discover
You're never satisfied with any other
[Chorus]
Someday, ooh, someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
[Verse 2]
You'll change your mind and call my name
Soon as you find they're all the same
And when you find yourself alone
Don't come back crying, you should have known
Believe me I'm not pretending
It's not hard to predict this ending now
'Cause I know you'll soon discover
You're needing me in spite of all the others
(Some-some-someday)
[Chorus]
Someday, ooh, someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
Someday, ooh, someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
[Bridge]
Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there'll ever come a time when you're cold and lonely
Baby, how could you ever believe
That another could replace me the one and only
But when your down un your time of need
And you're thinking that you might be coming back to own me
Just think again 'cause I won't need your love anymore
[Chorus]
Someday, ooh, someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, someday, yeah yeah
Ohhh yeah yeah
You're gonna be wishing for me
For me, for me, for me, for me, for me, yeah yeah
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
[Instrumental Breakdown]
[Chorus]
Someday, ooh, someday
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday, hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
You're gonna be wishing for me
For me, for me, for me, for me, for me, yeah yeah
Someday, hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
Someday
You're gonna be wishing for me
One you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score
Mmm, uh-huh, mmm
Oooh
Hey, whoa, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
