You Got Your Hooks In Me

(album: Ship Ahoy - 1973)

I just can't understand for the life of me
What I see in you
Yet every time you talk of leaving me
I get so shook up, I don't know what to do

Oh, oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
And I, oh I, oh I'm caught like a fish
And, baby, I just can't break free
You know this thing is killing me

I must like it or, or I wouldn't be here, baby
Every time I get behind your back
I tell my friends I'm leaving you
And when you question me about it, baby
I swear what they're saying just ain't true, no, no

Oh, oh, oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
And I, oh, oh, I'm caught like a fish, ya
And, baby, I just can't break free
You know this thing is killing me, killing me

Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
(I'm going to keep on loving you, loving you, loving you)
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
Oh, but, and I must like it, I must, I must like it, like it

Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
(Baby, what you do to me, what you do to me)
Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
(I said woman, it's good to me, good to me, so good to me)
And I like it, and I like it

Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
(I'm in love with you woman, and I don't want to quit)
I just don't want to quit
I want to hold you, I want to hold you close to me

Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
Oh sweet woman, I love, I'm loving you
And I'm hooked, I'm hooked, oh baby, oh baby
Oh, baby

I got, I'm gonna get away
You got poor me hanging on a string, darling
Oh, I must like this thing, woohoo
So woman, woman, do the things that you do
The way, the way you call my name, woman, I like

I'll be going around telling all my friends that I'm leaving
No, but I ain't never going nowhere, no, no
I said woman, I said woman
The way, the way you love me, way you love me
I feel, feel, feel, feel like I feel, I want, got to have it

Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
Oh, baby, I guess you've got your hooks in me
Oh, baby, I guess
Little girl, you got me, you got me
