Winding Me Up
(Lead vocal - Chris Rainbow)

[Verse 1]
Well it was only a game, she was mine for the asking
And I'd figured the whole thing out
When she told me her name it was more than a feeling
There wasn't any doubt
Well it felt so good, it was too hard to break it
Too much for me to explain
But in a matter of time, I'm gonna be myself again

[Chorus]
You've been winding me up too long
I'm over my head; is it day or night?
'Cause woman you ain't so strong
But you caught me by surprise, oh
Burned me with your eyes, oh
Cut me down to size, oh
Saw through my disguise

[Verse 2]
Well it was only a game, she was only a number
But I figured it out all wrong
Every time that I said, "I'll move on tomorrow"
I hung around too long
Well it felt so good, it was too hard to break it
Too much before me to face
Now I got nowhere to run; she knows my every hidin' place
[Chorus]
You've been winding me up too long
I'm over my head; is it day or night?
'Cause woman you ain't so strong
But you caught me by surprise, oh
Burned me with your eyes, oh
Cut me down to size, oh
Saw through my disguise

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Winding me up too long
I'm over my head; is it day or night?
'Cause woman you ain't so strong
But you caught me by surprise, oh
Burned me with your eyes, oh
Cut me down to size, oh
Beat me to the prize, oh
Hurt me with your lies, oh
Burned me with your eyes, oh
Cut me down to size, oh
Saw through my disguise
