You say that it's over baby
You say that it's over now
But still you hang around me, come on
Won't you move over?
You know that I need a man (honey, Lord)
You know that I need a man
But when I ask you to, you just tell me
That maybe you can
Please, don't you do it to me, babe, no
Please, don't you do it to me, babe
Either take this love I offer
Honey, let me be
I ain't quite a ready for walkin', no, no, no, no
I ain't quite a ready for walkin'
That's what I'm gonna do with your love
Life all just dangling
Oh yeah, make up your mind, honey
You're playing with me, hey-hey-hey
Make up your mind, darling
You're playing with me, come on now
Now either be my loving man
I said let me honey, let me be, yeah
You say that it's over, baby, no
You say that it's over now
But still you hang around me, come on
Won't you move over?
You know I don't need a man, honey, I told you so
Know I don't need a man
When I ask you to, you just tell me
That maybe you can
Hey! Please, don't you do it to me, babe, no
Please, don't you do it to me, babe
Either take this love I offer
Honey, let me be
I said won't you, won't you let me be
Honey, you're teasing me
Yeah, you're playing with my heart, dear
I believe you're toying with my affections, honey
I can't take it no more, baby
And furthermore, I don't intend to
I'm just tired of hanging from the end of a string, honey
You expect me to fight like a goddamned mule
Whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa
