How Does It Taste

James Fauntleroy · Other Songs - James Fauntleroy

everything you've done to me

i'm gonna do to you

and every time you told a lie to me

somehow it came true

and when you call my phone

i won't be home

a busy tune is all you hear

you can't be mad, you're getting it back



so tell me

how does it taste now

you get a little bit of your own medicine

mix it with a bit of your own element

how does it feel now

you get a little bit of your own medicine

tell me how does it taste

how does it taste

how does it taste



now maybe if you walk a mile in my shoes (uh huh)

you just might see my point of view (oh)

and i'll give anything to see the look up on your face

the second you hear

i've been out with someone else (oh)

when you tell me you love me

and i don't say it back

tell me how you feel



does it make you mad

i wanna know, i really hope so



so tell me

how does it taste now

you get a little bit of your own medicine

mix it with a bit of your own element

how does it feel now

you get a little bit of your own medicine

tell me how does it taste

how does it taste

how does it taste



now you can take the liquid

it might be a little bitter

so take your time, sip it

you got a whole big shot

now i put a little bit of hurt in (oh)

i put a little drop of pain (oh)

i mix it with a bit of sorrow (oh)

and a dose of hate



how does it taste now

you get a little bit of your own medicine

mix it with a bit of your own element

how does it feel now

you get a little bit of your own medicine

tell me how does it taste
