Lyrics:
You tell me that you love me baby
Then you say you don't
You tell me that you'll come on over
Then you say you won't
You love me like a hurricane
Then you start to freeze
I'll give it to you straight right now
Please don't tease
You come right out and tell me
You're out with someone new
You play it oh so doggone cool
I don't know what to do
You never seem to answer me
You just don't hear my pleas
I'll give it to you one more time
Please don't tease
Oh please don't tease me
You know it hurts so much
Come on and squeeze me
You know I need your tender touch
But you tell me that you love me baby
Then you say you don't
You tell me that you'll come on over
Then you say you won't
You love me like a hurricane
Then you start to freeze
I'll give it to you straight right now
Please don't tease
Oh please don't tease me
You know it hurts so much
Come on and squeeze me
You know I need your tender touch
But you tell me that you love me baby
Then you say you don't
You tell me that you'll come on over
Then you say you won't
You love me like a hurricane
Then you start to freeze
I'll give it to you straight right now
Please don't tease

Cause everybody's somebody's fool,
Yes everybody's somebody's plaything
And there are all exceptions to the rule,
Yes everybody's somebody's fool
Someday you'll find someone you really care for
And if her love should prove to be untrue
You'll know how much this heart of mine is breaking
You'll cry for her the way I cried for you
