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 come jerks don't know they're jerks   (I don't know)      So next time someone makes you feel little   Just sing this song inside your 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      You jerk   You jerk   You are such a jerk   There are other words   But they just don't work
