On the other side of town,
I know he's pacing
Slowly back and forth across the floor
I can pic ture his sad lips silently praying
That I'll come back knocking on his door
I know he's broken hearted and for more
It serves him right
Oh, it serves him right
He didn't do too well
against temptation
When love came by, he took all eagerty
I guess he thought our love
was worth the gamble
But brother man got bit by his own snake
I know he's hurtin' now and,
that's the way
He serves him right
Lord, it serves him right
He can go to hell for all I care
Fill the whole
Grand
Canyon full of tears
He's getting his reward
and from what I hear
He drinks himself to sleep every night
Yes,
Lord, it serves him right
I want it so right
He's just gonna help for all I care
Fill the whole grindin'
canyon up with tears
He's gettin' his rewardin'
from what I give
He drinks himself to sleep every night
You know what, it serves him right.
Lord, it serves him right.
On the other side of town,
his phone ain't ringin'.
His freedom, only thought it would be.
I guess you could say I might miss him,
but I ain't gonna let no man cheat on me.
I hope he's crying every night
Cause it serves him right
Lord, it serves him right
Serves him right
Lord, it serves him right
He ain't let no man show me
Serves him right
The brother got bit by an old snake
Serves him right
Lord, it serves him right
Serves him right
Lord, it serves him right
Oooh...
