Though we had a good thing, baby
You pulled the wool over my eyes
Should've seen it coming baby
Now all I see is a cool love dying
Honey, I don't want to hold you down
Why you gotta own the lock and the key?
Oh, tell me baby,
Good things don't come around
And you can't have them for free
No, not meYou've been a river of give
And an ocean of take
Darlin' for Heaven's sakeYou've got me up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean, hey
Well, you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that?
You say you want to work it out, boy
Tell me what's in it for meYou're living in your own world
You act like I'm just passing through, oh yeah
Don't you want to be happy?
Don't you know how good that could be, or it could be
Seems everybody's telling you something
That they know you just want to hear
Oh, but you ain't gonna hear it from meYou've been a valley of love
And a mountain of need
Baby, it's time you seeYou've got me up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean, hey, yeah
Well, you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that?
You say you want to work it out, boy

Well, you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that?
