Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Riddle me this)
(Riddle me this)
(Riddle me, riddle me that)
(I bet you don't know just where I'm at)
[Verse 2]
In the dark, you live your life
In the dark, oh, you cheat and lie
In the dark, you want to fuss and fight, yeah
In the dark, you will get no life
[Verse 3]
Listen
People tell me love, love is true
They tell me love, what love can do
You keep on tellin' me love endlessly
That's when you try to turn your back on me
[Verse 4]
Now
I'm so lonely and so blue
Good God! I keep on loving no one but you
Come on now, where you go? I wonder 'bout a-where you are
I know one day soon you're gonna wanna, come back, ah (Break my heart)
Come back, come back, baby
Come, a-come meet me, yeah
[Verse 5]
Now
Riddle me this
Riddle me this
Riddle me, riddle me that
I bet you don't know just where I'm at
[Verse 6]
Riddle me this
Riddle me this
Riddle me, riddle me that
I bet you don't know just where I'm at
[Verse 7]
Riddle me this
Riddle me this
Riddle me, riddle me that
I bet you don't know just where I'm at
[Verse 8]
Riddle, riddle, riddle, riddle, riddle, riddle, riddle, riddle
