I can't stay mad at you You can make me cry You can break my heart But I'll never say we're through Even when I cry, I can't stay mad at you You can run around You can tell me lies But there's nothing I can do I'll never say goodbye Cause I can't stay mad at you I got mad at you last night When you were holding another girl tight But when I thought of all your charms I bounced back in to your arms One thing you'll know for sure I won't be the one to fall in love with someone new I'll love you til I die And I can't stay mad at you I bounced right back into your arms One thing you'll know for sure I won't be the one to fall in love with someone new I'll love you til I die And I can't stay mad at you You got me where you want me
