Gee I must be crazy
cause you're giving me the eye
I'm forgetting everything you said to make me cry
I should go away
I could go away
I would go away but all I wanna do is stay
Gee I must be lazy
cause you're sittin by my side
and I could get up and move away but I haven't even tried
I should go away
I could go away
I would go away but all I wanna do is stay
Why do you
go go go go go go go go
go and make me moan
I know I know I know
that you (I) could drop me (you) like a stone
go go go go go leave me alone
I know I know I know
that you (I) could drop me (you) like a stone
but I bet you won't
Gee I must'been thinkin
cause I'm changin up my mind
yesterday you were a bore
but today you're lookin fine
you should go away
you could away
you would away
but I make you stay
Gee I must'been drinkin
bet you smell it on my breath
ooh doesn't smell like alcohol
I got the kiss 'a death
you should go away
you could away
you would away
but I make you stay
Why do I
go go go go go go go go
go and make you (me) moan
I know I know I know
that I (you) could drop you (me) like a stone
go go go go go leave me alone
I know I know I know
that I (you) could drop you (me) like a stone
but I bet you won't
(bridge)
Gee I must be lucky
cause I'm opening my door
there's the girl that loved me
but didn't want me anymore
she ain't goin away
she ain't goin away
she ain't goin away
babe I know you're gunna stay
Gee that lightning struck me
like a freight train off it's tracks
she kept sayin she was goin away
but I knew she was comin back
she ain't goin away
she ain't goin away
she ain't goin away
babe I know you're gunna stay
so
Why do you
go go go go go go go go
go and make me moan
I know I know I know
you'd (I'd) never drop me (you) like a stone
go go go go go leave me alone
I know I know I know
you'd (I'd) never drop me (you) like a stone
babe I know you won't
