Lyrics
- Why do you do what you do to me?
What you do is something new to me
You’ve got me coming and going, you rascal, you
First you’re mine and then you’re done with me
Suits you fine to have your fun with me
I should be staging a walkout, but no can do
Chorus
You run me ragged
Why don’t I get sore?
You love to get me all upset
But I keep coming back for more
You’re hard to handle
You’ve got tricks galore
You make me dance for my romance
But I keep coming back for more
Like a kid on a merry-go-round
I gotta hang on, I know
You’ve got me dizzy
But I just can’t let you go
You do me something
No one’s done before
I don’t know what it is you’ve got
But it’s something that I adore
So, I keep coming back for more
2. What a lot I’ve had to take from you
Time I got a little break from you
Don’t keep me dangling forever upon your string
My poor heart, the way you play with it
You’re so smart, you get away with it
You know you’ve got me
‘Cause I know you’ve got that thing
