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.
Jerk.

Somtimes 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 load 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 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.

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.
You jerk,
You jerk,
You are such a jerk.
