Song lyrics

Send "Misery Business" ringtones to your cell

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass that's tickin like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out...
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I can't lie he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we had caught on fire
She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way

Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving...

Whoa, I never meant to brag 
But I got him where I want him now

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

"Hayley" still had feelings for that guy so she hooked up with him again, and when the Whore saw how happy they were, she decided that they wanted him back and tried...but failed. like i said, i hate people like that. dropping someone for someone else then trying to steal them back again LIKE THAT? nope. find another person geez.

231 posts	BY THE WAY----- why is the VOCAL of this song only rated as a flipping 8.9?? ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Hayley Williams' voice is AMAZING. she's like one of the only girls out there who can actually SING. she does it with like no effort and she's always on pitch. wtf. come on, guys. at least over a 9.2!!!!

48 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal The only thing that really upsets me about this song is that Paramore is now becoming so mainstream. TV and radio are turning Paramore into the next Plain White T's, which is really disappointing because they're such an amazing band. I love Hayley's voice, her range is simply amazing and they sound superb live.

411 posts	Honestly, my thoughts of this song have changed. I feel like it’s the only song on RIOT! that doesn’t have as much meaning as the rest. I mean, it’s still great and stuff, and I still am in love with it, but other songs just have a lot more passion than this, like Let The Flames Begin and Hallelujah, for example.
