if you ever wanted to be another woman

it's amanda

she spins her magic around his magic wand

that her hands touch

he's got emeralds for eyes that even hypnotize



oh why

amanda's boy

what he do to me

why won't

what he do to her

he do to me



(overlapping)

you know i need amanda's boy

why can't i leave him alone

i don't know why she won't leave me alone

why i can't win

tell me why
