Ah-you tell me that you love me,
But I don't think it's true-oo-ooo.
'Cause I can tell by the way you act,
By the evil things you do,

That you wanna make me live
My life -- in pain,
That's what you wan' me to do.
Ain't it, baby?
You wanna fool around,
An' drive me crazy.
You wanna make me sad,
You wanna treat me bad.
It's true, that's what you wanna do.
Aww-unh-huhhn,
Ain't it, baby?

Ah-you leave on the road, yourself,
A love note, an' sign some man's name,
Ahh, then you put it where I' likely find it.
It's jus' a low-down, dirty shame,

That you wanna make me live
My life -- in pain,
That's what you wan' me to do.
Ain't it, baby?
You wanna fool around,
Drive/ /drive me crazy.
You wanna make me sad,
You wanna treat me bad.
It's true, that's what you wanna do.
Aww-unh-hunhh,
Ain't it, baby?

Shoobie-doo-wop doo-bop bahhh.
Shoobie-doo-wop doo-bop bahhh.
Shoobie-doo-wop doo-bop bahhh.
We-eh-eh-eh-eh-eheh-ell,/
/Ahhh.../

/Still girl, I just can't leave ya.
I'm just-ah/ /Ahhh.../
/Your fool it seems.
I've got to stay right here,
Just-ah hold you near,
Even though I know these things,

That I'm gonna have to live my life,
The only life I' got now./ /Live.
That's what you wan' me to do.
Ain't it, baby?
You wanna fool around,
Drive/ /drive me crazy.
