Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What can you do when you can't get through
To a bad baby?
One that'll run you 'round like a taxi ride
[Chorus]
Each time I quit, I get nowhere fast
She works some kind of magic until at last
She's got me running back like a jet pac boomerang
[Verse 2]
What can you say when you can't keep away
From a bad, bad, bad baby?
You better believe you're gonna hang your head and cry
[Chorus]
Each time I say, "That's it, I'm done"
She's got a way of going, "Whoa, come on"
That gets me running back like a jet pac boomerang
[Bridge]
Yes, but when she says she loves me
Angel choirs sing
Stars come out in the daytime
And I forgive her everything
[Chorus]
I ask her, "Is it true?
You only make me blue, baby
'Cause you know that I'll be back like a jet pac boomerang"
[Bridge]
Yes, but when she says she loves me
I hear a symphony begin
But then the music fades away
And the heartaches start again
[Chorus]
I ask her, "Is it true?
You only make me blue, baby
'Cause you have me running back like a jet pac boomerang"
[Outro]
Boomerang, boomerang
Can't help myself
Boomerang, boomerang
I'm in the grip of a spell, it seems
Boomerang, boomerang
I've got zero willpower
Boomerang, boomerang
Woe and misery
Boomerang, boomerang, boomerang
I mean she really done a job on me
Boomerang, boomerang, boomerang
Bad, bad, bad, bad baby now
Boomerang, boomerang, boomerang
Last night I said these words to my girl
