LYRICS
I'm in the business of misery
Let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth

I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we caught on fire
She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile

Woah, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Woah, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Woah, I never meant brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Woah, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good.

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving...

Woah, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now

Woah, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Woah, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good

    “this song was under-appreciated” no it wasn’t it was literally their breakout hit you were just a child who hadn’t hit their emo phase yet
  • @addictedtoRS
    I never really listened to Paramore, but my very first girlfriend was obsessed with them. This was her favourite song and she probably played it for me 1,000 times against my will. Sadly she passed away many years ago, so hearing this song now gives me immense nostalgia and sorrow. I've grown to love this song for that reason. Miss you Sarah ❤

    Don't worry you're not the only one listening this masterpiece in 2022.
  • @TheMatt777
    Paramore is apart of my youth bc a female classmate convinced the teacher at my private Christian school,that they were a Christian band and so we got to listen to them during class at our tiny tiny classroom for all the year!🤣 I LOVE Paramore!💪🏼

    17 years today! Time goes so quickly 😭
  • @kylie8398
    fun fact: Misery Business came out a month before the first iPhone
  • @s-sugoi835
    I was an angry 13 year old when this was released. Now I'm a depressed 26 and I'm still here. How about y'all?
  • @benhanson4199
    if this song isn't playing at my funeral I'm not dying.
  • @jackbrown4697
    I miss the days when pop punk and emo ruled the charts
  • @TheBandaFam
    I used to fancy myself as a bit of a scene queen back in the Myspace days (i’m 33 and boring now) but this takes me back to my youth! Loved this song so much and Hayley Williams is an icon.
  • Any Paramore fans from Ottawa, Canada watching this? Let's start a campaign to get them to play next year's Bluesfest!
  • @Ozymandias-
    let's be honest, if this song was released today it would be even more popular than is actually
  • @MisSea
    Why am I just now finding out that Hayley wrote this song about Josh’s girlfriend at the time that she was jealous of because she had a crush on him.... thank you Hayley for spilling the tea
  • @jakebmessina
    29 years old BLACK male still in love with this in 2024. ❤Life was simple at this time. I miss it wish I could magically transport back to that time
  • I can’t go a day without my daily Misery Business/Paramore as a whole intake 😭
