Best Performance
She's got those dark shades on to hide the pain
He left her and she'll never be the same
She's more concerned with saving face
So she's smiling like a debutante
Hiding what she really wants
Love is so temporary, it's a shame
Like building smoke rings that catch your fame
She lost herself along the way
Now she's drowning in her teenage dreams
Masterminding her next scheme
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, oh no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, no, no
She's victimized by wire and fantasies
I'm wounded by their shots of jealousy
The huntress cannot catch a break
So she plots the ultimate revenge
But thoughts like that can do her in
She makes her eyes up just to catch his face
Extends her lip line to its odd shape
She calls him with a cheap excuse
She just cannot stop this mad charade
Her lust for him will never fade
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, oh no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, no, no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, oh no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, no, no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, oh no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, no, no
He left her and she'll never be the same
She's more concerned with saving face
So she's smiling like a debutante
Hiding what she really wants
Love is so temporary, it's a shame
Like building smoke rings that catch your fame
She lost herself along the way
Now she's drowning in her teenage dreams
Masterminding her next scheme
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, oh no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, no, no
She's victimized by wire and fantasies
I'm wounded by their shots of jealousy
The huntress cannot catch a break
So she plots the ultimate revenge
But thoughts like that can do her in
She makes her eyes up just to catch his face
Extends her lip line to its odd shape
She calls him with a cheap excuse
She just cannot stop this mad charade
Her lust for him will never fade
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, oh no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, no, no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, oh no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, no, no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, oh no
Even her best performance won't get him back
Won't get him back, no, no
