Happiness is what you want, all I get is pain

But if I left you pretty baby, would you have me back again?

You need somebody, baby, to tell you what to say

You need somebody, baby, to show you all the way

Need somebody, baby, tell you what to say

You need somebody, baby, to show, show you all the way

Hey, woman, wipe off the ink from your eyes

Hey, woman, why do you think you're so wise?

Hey, lover, what do you punish me for?

Hey, woman, what passes behind the door?

Give me a bite of the apple

My hands are tied

Give me your inky pen

And come on back, come on back to me, yeah

Hey, woman, why don't you love me again?

Oh, woman, I wanna be your best friend

Ooh, lover, what do you punish me for?

Hey, woman, past is now behind the door

Give me a bite of the apple

My hands are tied

Give me your inky pen

And come on back, come on back to me, yeah

Well, baby, how do you like my heart?

Woah, baby, how did that come? Love me, yeah

Love me, baby, like I said

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
