Lyrics
YOU THINK WE'RE MATCHED I'LL SAY NOT QUITE,
WHEN YOU SAY BLACK I'LL SOON SAY WHITE
I'LL NEVER LET YOU PLAY THE KNIGHT,
AND ALL YOUR JOKES I'LL SAY ARE TRITE
I CAN'T WAIT TO SAY THAT IT'S NOT ALRIGHT,
ON YOUR EVERY FAULT I'LL SHINE ARC LIGHT
LITTLE MISS KRYPTONITE
YOU'LL TRY YOUR BEST AND YET DESPITE
YOUR COOLING WORDS I'LL SOON IGNITE
EACH ROW I'LL TRY TO KEEP A LIGHT, NOT HAPPY 'TIL I WIN OUTRIGHT
NEVER PLEASED WHEN YOU ARE BURNING BRIGHT,
I'LL SOON BLOW OUT YOUR PILOT LIGHT
LITTLE MISS KRYPTONITE
MISS KRYPTONITE, GIVE NO REPRIEVE,
JUST GRIND THEM DOWN, 'COS SOON THEY'LL LEAVE
WITH EVERY ROW I'LL LAND A BITE, WHICH LINGERS LIKE A TOXIC MITE
TO KEEP YOU ITCHING THRO' THE NIGHT, SUCH IS THE POISON OF MY SPITE
WITH MY GAVEL POISED I WILL SOON INDICT,
SENDING YOU STRAIGHT DOWN FOR ANY SLIGHT
LITTLE MISS KRYPTONITE
