  • Oh, yeah
    Ooh

    When you said you were leaving
    To work on your mental health
    You didn't mention the cheating, yeah
    You kept that one to yourself

    I got so mad was gonna
    Cuss you out outside your house
    For everyone to see
    Wanted to trash your Benz
    Tell all your friends
    How cruel you were to me (to me, to me)

    Instead I wrote a song
    'Bout how you did me wrong
    I could've cried at home
    And spent the night alone
    Instead I wrote a song
    I feel much better now
    Me and my girls are out
    And we all sing along
    Instead I wrote a song

    Da-da-da-da-da-I
    Da-da-da-da-da-I (woo-woo)
    Da-da-da-da-da-I
    Instead I wrote a song
    Da-da-da-da-da-I
    Da-da-da-da-da-I (woo-woo)
    Da-da-da-da-da-I
    Instead I wrote a song

    I kept my cool and composure
    My mother would be so proud
    I was ready for a sentence, baby
    Instead, I wrote it all down

    Oh, I was gonna
    Cuss you out outside your house
    For everyone to see
    Wanted to trash your Benz
    Tell all your friends
    How cruel you were to me (to me, to me)

    Instead I wrote a song
    'Bout how you did me wrong
    I could've cried at home
    And spent the night alone
    Instead I wrote a song
    I feel much better now
    Me and my girls are out
    And we all sing along
    Instead I wrote a song

    Da-da-da-da-da-I
    Da-da-da-da-da-I (woo-woo)
    Da-da-da-da-da-I
    Instead I wrote a song
    Da-da-da-da-da-I
    Da-da-da-da-da-I (woo-woo)
    Da-da-da-da-da-I
    Instead I wrote a song

    Let's celebrate, dance it away
    I thought my heart would break

    Instead I wrote a song
    'Bout how you did me wrong
    I could've cried at home
    And spent the night alone
    Instead I wrote a song
    I feel much better now
    Me and my girls are out
    And we all sing along
    Instead I wrote a song Writer/s: Holly Mae Muller, Karen Ann Poole, Lewis Daniel Thompson
