Well I built my life around you, did what I thought was right. But you never cared about me, now I've seen the light. Oh darling, there ain't no pleasin' you. You seemed to think that everything I ever did was wrong. I should have known it, all along. Oh darlin', there ain't no pleasin' you. You only ‘ad to say the word, And you knew I'd do it. You ‘ad me where you wanted me, But you went and blew it. Now everything I ever done, was only done for you. But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do, I'm tellin' you. Coz I ain't gonna be made to look a fool no more, You done it once too often, what do ya take me for? Oh darlin', there ain't no pleasin' you. And you seemed to think that everything I ever did was wrong. I should ‘ave known it all along, That darlin', there ain't no pleasin' you. You only ‘ad to say the word, And you knew I'd do it. You ‘ad me where you wanted me, But you went and blew it. Now everything I ever done, was only done for you. But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do, I'm tellin' you. Coz I ain't gonna be made to look a fool no more, You done it once too often, what do ya take me for? Oh darlin', there ain't no pleasin' you. Now if you think I don't mean what I say, and I'm only bluffin'. You got another thing comin', I'm tellin' you that for nothin'. Coz darlin' I'm leavin', That's what I'm gonna...do-oo-oo
