The first song that came to mind was 

"Under My Thumb" by the Rolling Stones

One you’ve probably never heard of- Pray For You by Jaron And The Long Road To Love.

 

Here’s one part:

 

I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
I pray a flower pot falls from a window sill
And knocks you in the head like I'd like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin' high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are, near or far
In your house or in your car
Wherever you are, honey, I pray for you
I pray for you

Alanis Morissette:  “You Oughta Know”

 

And I'm here, to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

 

(She sang with such passion...can;tmimagine performing this over &nover again.  Several old BFs were rumored to be the story behind the lyrics..the actor Dave Coulier (‘Full House’) being the most rumored)

 

 

Journey:  “Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'”

 

It won't be long, yes, till you're alone
When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home
Cause he's lovin', who he's touchin',
He's squeezin' another

He's tearin' you apart
Every, every day
He's tearin' you apart
Oh girl what can you say?
Cause he's lovin', touchin' another
Now it's your turn girl to cry
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na

 

I think I’m confusing revenge vs angst, but don’t know too many revenge songs...AC/DC, mentioned upthread, being the most popular...but ‘You Oughta Know?’  Ooof...nothing more dangerous than a scorned, angry, intelligent woman! Ha.
