“Song for the Dumped” is a breakup song. The singer rants in an honest and explicit way about the girl who just dumped him. The simplicity of his anger makes the song powerful. He just wants his money back. And his black t-shirt. After everything, it seems like the least she could do.

Song for the Dumped Lyrics
[Intro, spoken:]
(I hope we got that on tape, because it was a really…)
(Is someone saying something?)
(…it was a really…)
(I don't know)
(…I was thinking…)
(No, I think I hear some kind of noise — cut that shit!)
(I was thinking about, you know, respecting your work with Steven and…)
(Shut the fuck up!)
1, 2, 3, 4!
[Verse 1]
So you wanted
To take a break
Slow it down some
And have some space
Well, fuck you too
[Chorus]
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
You bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
Don't forget
To give me back my black T-shirt
[Verse 2]
I wish I hadn't
Bought you dinner
Right before you
Dumped me on your front porch
[Chorus]
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
You bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
Don't forget
To give me back my black T-shirt
[Verse 3]
So you wanted
To take a break
Slow it down some
And have some space
[Chorus]
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
You bitch
I want my money back
I want my money back
And don't forget

What did Ben Folds Five say about "Song for the Dumped"?
I was writing ‘One Angry Dwarf…’ and it seemed a little complicated to Darren. And Darren, as a joke—and I guess to make a point—wrote the lyrics to ‘Song for the Dumped’ (without any music or anything) in my notebook next to ‘Dwarf.’ Like, ‘Here’s the way you should write a song. It shouldn’t be th...
