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.

[When you're using someone "love" doesn't last very long.]

It's a matter of time before we all run out,
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.

[They were dating when another girl basically "stole" him.]

I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free.

[Im guessing this means the other girl had this guy for 8 months then got ride of him.]

I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me.
Two weeks we caught on fire,
She's got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile.

[Honestly not really sure]

Whoa, I never meant to brag.
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag

[She has got him now and the other girl is jealous...?]

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.

[It feels good to finally have him, and have the other girl out of the way...]

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.

[She doesn't believe that any one will get better from where they are at now]

Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.

[ She is pretty much saying that this girl is a sl*t no matter what]

And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way.

[She is telling her to listen and listen well]

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!

[She isn't going to be that kind of person, and she is telling this girl to back off basically]

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

[Hey, girl, no one likes you. I would just leave. Is what she is saying]

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

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