A Big Comeuppance Lyrics - Compromised - Steve Forbert

VERSE 1 

A big comeuppance is a thing'll bring you down to the ground 

A big comeuppance says tonight you won't be wearin' no crown 

You never see it coming from nowhere 

Especially not no strawberry blonde 

A big comeuppance is a thing you have to make it beyond 

VERSE 2 

A big comeuppance is a thing'll put a dent in your today 

A big comeuppance is a thing there won't be much you can say 

You know it's going to mess up your weekend 

However hard you try to pretend 

A big comeuppance brings a lot of stuff you'd thought to an end 

BRIDGE: 

I mean to tell you 

I mean to tell you 

I mean to tell you so; 

You might as well you 

You might as well you 

You might as well now know 

VERSE 3 

A big comeuppance is a thing that shoots you down from your perch 

A big comeuppance says you'll have to reassess your research 

She only drove back up here to tell you 

Some words she'd been rehearsing I'll bet 

A big comeuppance is a thing I guess you won't soon forget 

[INSTRUMENTAL SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS] 

[BRIDGE] 

VERSE 4 

A big comeuppance is a thing that puts you back in your place 

A big comeuppance is a thing that throws some facts in your face 

You think you're not gonna let it affect you 

It's only what it is 'cause it's true 

A big comeuppance is a thing it's not like nothin' you knew
