THE O'JAYS - You Got Your Hooks In Me lyrics

rate me

I just can't understand it for the life of me

What I see in you.

Yet every time you talk of leaving me,

I get so shook up I don't know what to do.

Aw, aw baby,

I guess you got your hooks in me and I...Oh, I,

Oh, I'm caught like a fish

And baby, I just can't break free.

(You know) this thing is killing me. (Oooooooooooooooooooh...) I must like it

Or-or I wouldn't be here, baby.

Every time I get behind your back,

I tell my friends I'm leaving you. Oh.

And when you question me about it, baby,

I swear, what they're saying just ain't true. No, no.

Aw, aw, aw baby,

I guess you got your hooks in me and I...Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, I'm caught like a fish, aw,

And baby, I just can't break free.

(You know) this thing is killing me, killing me.

(Oh, oh, oh, baby,) Oh, oh baby, I-I

(I guess you got your hooks in me.) I guess I'm gonna keep on loving you, loving you, loving you. Oh, oh, oh.

(Oh, oh, oh, baby,) Oh, oh, hey, hey. Baby, baby,

(I guess you got your hooks in me.) Baby, I guess,

I guess, I guess you got your hooks in me, woman,

And I must like it. I must, I must like it, like it.

(Oh, oh, oh, baby.) Baby, baby,

(I guess you got your hooks in me.) Baby, what you do to me.

What you do to me, woman, is good to me, good to me,

So good to me and I like it, I like it.

(Oh, oh, oh, baby,) Oh, oh, baby, I guess

(I guess you got your hooks in me.) Was it like that you want me to go,

But I don't wanna quit. I just don't wanna quit.

I wanna hold you. I wanna hold you close to me, woman.

(Oh, oh, oh, baby,) Hey, hey baby.

Hey, hey, sweet woman, (I guess you got your hooks in me.) I'm loving, loving you,

And I'm hooked, I'm hooked, I'm hooked, baby, baby.

(Oh, oh, oh, baby.) Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

(Ooooooh, oooooooooh, oooooooooooh.) I'm gonna,

I'm gonna get away.

You got poor me hanging on a string, darling.

(Well.) Oh, I must like this thing. Oooooooooooooooooh.

I said woman, woman,

You do the things that you do.

The way you...the way you call my name, woman.

I like it.

I'll be going around telling all my friends that I'm leaving,

No, but I ain't never going nowhere. No, no.

I said woman. I said woman, the way,

The way you love me, the way you love me,

I feel, feel, feel, feel like I need you,

I want you, got to have it. Oh, oh.

(Oh, oh, oh, baby,) Oh, oh, baby, baby, (Oh, baby.)

(I guess you got your hooks in me.) I guess you got,

You got me all in my mind, in my mind.

I think you got me in your heart when I think about it,

(In my mind. I said woman.) 'Cause I like it.

(Oh, oh, oh, baby.) Little girl,

(I guess you got your hooks in me.) Little girl, you got me, you got me, you got me hooked, child,

Hooked, child, and I like it.

I like it, I like it, I like it.

(Oh, oh, oh, baby.) Aw, baby. (Oh, baby.) Eh, eh, eh.

(I guess you got your hooks in me.)

I guess you got your, you got your hooks in me.
