| As far as I can remember
|
| My heart you tried to steal
|
| Indications pointed out to me
|
| You just wanted to play in the field
|
| Counterfeit your promises
|
| You thought you could conceal
|
| I overlooked your many games, baby
|
| 'Cause you gave my soul a thrill
|
| Now every time I turn around
|
| My heart you try to steal
|
| Now every time I turn around
|
| My heart you’re trying to steal
|
| Baby, this is the deal
|
| Hu-ha, look here, the next time it’s for real
|
| Baby, you know the deal
|
| No remorse towards you
|
| Will be my attitude
|
| We can dance to your tune
|
| But we can try something new
|
| But you see, uh… there is just one major problem
|
| I know how you love to lie
|
| Remember those lies, don’t you, baby?
|
| And if we can’t solve them
|
| Why don’t we just say «bye-bye»?
|
| 'Cause every time I turn around
|
| The phone is ringing, yeah
|
| And you’re giving me some deal
|
| Every time I turn around
|
| You want me to appeal
|
| But baby, this is the deal
|
| Hu-ha, ha-ha, the next time it’s for real
|
| See, I ain’t gonna be uh, playing around, baby
|
| 'Cause baby, you know the deal
|
| Now we’re gonna groove a little while…

| You’ve got to do to others, baby
|
| That you have them do to you
|

| No more playing around, baby
|
| I’ve told you how I feel
|
