Lyrics
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will, you've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're going shake me down somehow
But what's the use? You've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me
I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
It's much worse when you're near
Here am I with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock all the doors and call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me
I have no will, you've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me
Tell me, what's the use? You've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me
Say I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
It's much worse when you're near
Here am I with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
You took advantage of poor little me
