Oh, I was so proud of myself as a lover
Before you came, I never begged no girl to love her
Out of the eight million people in the city
I chose you, and you're not even pretty
Oh, I was the number one, I'm in it too
This time it's no one, it isn't me, it's you
You make me do things I don't wanna do
You make me do things I don't wanna do
Every time you're away, you make me think of her
Honey, honey, isn't me, I say, with no dignity at all
Oh, I'm trying hard to keep the upper hand
But now I'm losing my ground as a man
Today the sharpest looking girl came around
For the first time in my life, I turned one down
I loved this girl and went on to the next one
But I can't find no one better than the best one
You make me do things I don't wanna do
You make me do things I don't wanna do
Every time you're away, you make me think of her
Honey, honey, isn't me, I say, with no dignity at all
Listen honey, I fight myself
But I fight a losing battle
I try to tell my fool self
That you don't matter, no, no
You're number one as a lover
I'm number two alcoholic to recover
You make me do things I don't wanna do
You make me do things I don't wanna do
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
I don't want to do things I don't wanna do
But you make me do things I don't wanna do
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
