I Have A List

I Have a List (And You’re On It)” — Scorned Woman Version
Verse 1
When I finally leave this world and drift into the night,
Don’t expect me to be peaceful or go floatin’ toward the light.
No, I’ll be a sassy little spirit with unfinished business,
’Cause I fully intend to haunt people
When I die —
And trust me, honey, you made the list.
Chorus
Oh, I fully intend to haunt people when I die,
And I have a list — don’t bother asking why.
I’ll rattle all your cupboards, hide your socks and favorite mug,
Slide your phone across the counter just to give your nerves a tug.
So if you hear a wicked laugh drifting through the mist…
Relax — it’s only me
Checking names off my list.
Verse 2
I’ll rearrange your pillows, move your keys from room to room,
Turn your TV on at midnight just to play my favorite tune.
I’ll whisper, “Should’ve treated me better,” right behind your ear,
A harmless little haunting
Just to make my message clear.
Chorus
Oh, I fully intend to haunt people when I die,
And I have a list — don’t bother asking why.
I’ll rattle all your cupboards, hide your socks and favorite mug,
Slide your phone across the counter just to give your nerves a tug.
So if you hear a wicked laugh drifting through the mist…
Relax — it’s only me
Checking names off my list.
Bridge
Don’t worry, I’ll be classy — no terror, doom, or dread,
Just a little ghostly sass to dance around your bed.
I’ll be the kind of phantom who leaves lipstick on your glass,
A supernatural reminder
Of the woman you let pass.
Final Chorus
Oh, I fully intend to haunt people when I die,
And I have a list — and no, I won’t deny.
I’ll tap a little rhythm on your window late at night,
Just to let you know I’m thriving and the afterlife’s alright.
So if you feel a breeze that smells like perfume and a twist…
Smile — it’s only me
Checking names off my list.
