How come I didn't see you were making fun of me? 
How dare you change the rules. You made me look a fool. 
Well now you're gonna see the last laugh's not on me. 
What am I gonna do to get my revenge on you? 
You're goin' down. Goin' down. 

Was it just another line or did I misread the sign? 
What else could I do? I was so into you. 
With all this bad luck I've had my karma must be bad. 
You played your little game, oh what a shame. 
You're goin' down. Goin' down, goin' down. 

I'm singin' it loud and I don't care. 
I'm singin' it proud everywhere. 

Now I feel no remorse, my life is back on course. 
From this little hitch I have become a superbitch. 
But don't be afraid by the confession I have made. 
I am not a whore. I have gone hardcore. 
You're goin' down. Goin' down. 
Goin' down. Goin' down. 

I'm singin' it loud and I don't care. 
I'm singin' it proud everywhere. 
I'm singin' it loud and I don't care. 
I'm singin' it proud everywhere, ha, ha, ha. 

You're goin' down. Goin' down. 
You're goin' down. Goin' down, ha, yeah.
