(Sung by Xena to Joxer)

For all the times you interfered
Messed up a plan when success was near
You came stumbling in
They walked right out

From some dark alley
At the edge of town
I'd have beaten them up
But you knocked me down
You've turned my good deeds to bumbling bouts

I'll get even with you
For the bad times you helped me to
I'll give right back to you
All the bruises you gave to me
For the rest of the night
If you don't get out of my sight
If it's the last thing I ever do
I'll get even with you

With you the odds are against me
'Cause I lose, they escape, just go home
You wrap bad luck around the things you do
Get in my way, just please leave me alone

I'll get even with you
For bad times you helped me to
I'll give right back to you
All the bruises you gave to me
For the rest of the night
If you don't get out of my sight
If it's the last thing I ever do
I'll get even with you

If it's the last thing I ever do
I'll get even with you
