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
I was the stronger one of any two
This time 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
Oh, baby, honey, honey

I'm trying hard to keep
The upperhand
But now I 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 love this girl and I was on to the next one
But I can't find no one that loves, you're the best one

You make me do things I don't wanna do
You make me do things I don't wanna do
Oh, wrapped around your finger, baby
That's right darling
I fight myself
But I fight a losing battle
I try to tell my foolish self
It don't matter
You're number one as a lover
I'm number two
I try harder to recover

You make me do things I don't wanna do
You make me do things I don't wanna do

I don't want
Do things I don't want to do
But you make me
Yes, you do
Oh!
