The O'Jays

The O'Jays are an American R&B group from Canton, Ohio, formed in 1958 and originally consisting of Eddie Levert (born June 16, 1942), Walter Williams (born August 25, 1943), William Powell (January 20, 1942 – May 26, 1977), Bobby Massey and Bill Isles.

I just can't understand for the life of me
What I see in you
Yet every time you talk of leavin' me
I get so shook up, I don't know what to do

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
And I walk like a fish
And, baby, I just can't break free
You know this thing is killin' me

I must like it or, or I wouldn't be here, baby
Every time I get behind your back
I tell my friends I'm leavin' you
And when you question me about it, baby
I swear what they're sayin' just ain't true, no

[Chorus]

Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me

Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me

Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
Oh, baby, ooh

I got, I'm gonna get away
You got poor me hangin' on a string, darlin'
Oh, I must like this thing
So woman, woman, do the things that you do
The way, the way you call my name, woman, I like

I'll be goin' around tellin' all my friends that I'm leavin'
No, but I ain't never goin' nowhere, no, no
I said woman, I said woman
The way, the way you love me, way you love me
I feel, feel, feel, feel like I feel, I want, got to have it

Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
Oh, baby, I guess
