'Cause I keep runnin' back for more
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, honey sweetie pie
Yeah, you got me where you want me
Now that's back where I wanna be
Looks like the more I need you, the less I see you
The thrill nearly kills me when I'm in your arms
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, honey sweetie pie
Yeah, you got me where you want me
Now that's right where I wanna be
It makes me happy just to hear your name
The way I love you, it's a sin and a shame
I can't quit it, I wanna even try
'Cause when I'm meetin' you, I am satisfied
Ohh, looks like nothin' I do, seems satisfied
Sometimes, I wanna break a-right down and cry
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, honey sweetie pie
Yeah, you got me where you want me
Now that's right where I wanna be
It makes me happy just to hear your name
The way I love you, it's a sin and a shame
I can't quit it, I wanna even try
When you're meetin' even, I am satisfied
Ohh, looks like nothin' I do, nothin' I do, seems satisfied
Sometimes, I wanna break right down and cry
Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, honey sweetie pie
Yeah, you got me where you want me
Now that's right where I wanna be
Right where I wanna be, yeah, yeah
You got me where you want me
You got me where you want me
And that's, and that's right where I wanna be, yeah, yeah, yeah
That's right where I wanna be, yeah, yeah, baby
