Comin' And Goin'

(album: Cameo - 1973)

Stay at home
Phone that should be ringing
Quiet as a picture on the wall
Now, tea for one, a song I'm used to singing
Walking up and down an empty hall
Taking off a wrinkled dress
That you never got to see
Then you come a-knocking at my door
You know you could've fooled me

You've got me coming and going baby
And I never know exactly what to do
So I ask myself why should I care?
What is it I see in there?
That makes the same old line sound like it's new?
Oh I'm coming and going crazy over you, ah

Ahh, you and me
Once we get together
For a little while we're Jack and Jill
Baby, baby, now face to face, it's too good to believe it
Sure enough, you leave me standing still
You're a complicated man
But I do the best I can
I go in and out of heaven so fast
I don't know where I am

You've got me coming and going baby
And I never know exactly what to do
So I ask myself why should I care?
What is it I see in there?
That makes the same old line sound like it's new?
Oh, I'm coming and going crazy
Coming and going crazy

You've got me coming and going baby
And I never know, now I never know, what to do, ahh
You've got me coming and going baby
You just don't know what you put me through
When the only face I see is you
You've got me coming and going baby
Say the magic isn't really gone
It's you I'm still depending on
