One minute you say you will And the next you won't One minute you want me And the next you don't You're turning me upside down Giving me the run around Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go You watch me It isn't out of question One minute you're kissing me And the next you're not One minute you remember And the next you've forgot I don´t like it one little bit You're giving me the slip Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go If you want me It's really out of the question Between us we could have conquered Everest Sailed empty handed around the world But no you couldn't wait You had to go make the fatal mistake Of leading me on You silly girl, that was wrong Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go You watch me It isn't out of question One minute you're full of life And the next you're sad One minute you're marvelous And the next you're bad I don't like it one little bit You're giving me the slip Don't think that I don't know I do Don't think that I won't go If you want me It's really out of the question I'm doing my best and I don´t know why I'´m giving her a call and there's no reply She's getting me down till I can't get up She's giving me hell and if that's not enough She's breaking my heart nearly every day Not only in pieces but every way I'm sorry of course but the fault is hers
