Oh, is it true? Is it true?

Or have I been mistaken?

Oh, is it you? Is it you who started this trouble makin'?

Sure, I'm a fool, I'm a fool for puttin' my heart in such a situation

I tried to keep my cool, keepa my cool

Baby, I've grown impatient

Well you've got my attention

Now was that your intention?

Baby don't put me on your backburner

Baby don't put me on your backburner

Baby don't put me on your backburner

Baby don't put me on your backburner

Well, when I start thinking 'bout you and me

Gets my pulse racin' (racin', racin')

You don't seem to care much about me

When I'm looking in your direction (in your direction)

Oh, Girl you can take it or leave it

Baby, are you too blind to see that you're leaving me high 'n' dry? (high 'n' dry)

And when you're takin' my love girl, while you wait for another

You've gone and crossed the line (crossed the line, crossed the line)

Well, you've got my attention

Now was that your intention?

Baby don't put me on your backburner

Baby don't put me on your backburner

Baby don't put me on your backburner

Baby don't put me on your backburner

I've been waitin' a long, long time for a girl like you

But I ain't wasting any one of my days

'Cause I got better things to do

You're givin' me grief, but I ain't no thief

You seem to be the one who misunderstood

'Cause you keep turning your back

Turning your back, when things were just gettin' good

Baby don't put me on your backburner

Baby don't put me on your backburner

Baby don't put me on your backburner

Baby don't put me on your backburner
