[Verse 1]
Thought we had a good thing, baby
You pulled the wool over my eyes
Should've seen it coming, baby
Now all I see is a cool love dying
Honey, I don't wanna hold you down
Why you gotta own the lock and the key?
Oh, tell me baby
Good things just don't come around
And you can't have them for free
No, not me
You've been a river of give
And an ocean of take
Darling, for heaven's sake

[Chorus]
You've got me up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean
Hey
Well, you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that?
You say you wanna work it out, boy
Tell me, what's in it for me?

[Verse 2]
You're living in your own world
You act like I'm just passing through
Oh, yeah
Just wanna be happy
Don't you know how good that could be
Oh, it could be
Seems everybody's telling you something
That they know you just wanna hear
Oh, but you ain't gonna hear it from me
You've been a valley of love
And a mountain of need
Baby, it's time you see
[Chorus]
You've got me up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean
Hey
Well, you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that?
You say you wanna work it out, boy
Tell me, what's in it for me?
Up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean
Hey, hey
Well, you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that?
You say you wanna work it out, boy
Tell me, what's in it for me?

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
You've been a river of give and an ocean of pain
Darling, for Heaven's sake
Oh, yeah

[Chorus]
You got me up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean
Hey, hey, hey
Well you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that?
You say you wanna work it out boy
Tell me, what's in it for me?
Up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean
Hey, hey, oh
Well you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that?
You say you wanna work it out, boy
Tell me, what's in it for me?
[Outro]
Oh, in it for me
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
Hey, hey, hey, oh, hey
Hey, yeah
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
In for me
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
What's in it for me?
