You know I love you
Do anything I have to
Keep you in my life
I’ll sacrifice
If it is right
But why you have to
Be so difficult sometimes
You don’t be acting right
You make it really hard for me
And I think
You only do it cause it
(Makes me mad, mad)
You only do it cause it
(Make me mad, mad)
You only do it when it makes me
(Makes me mad, mad)
You’re trying to get back at me
You only do it cause it
(Makes me mad, mad)
Only do it cause it
(Makes me mad, mad)
You only do it cause it makes me
(Makes me mad, mad)
Why you gotta
Be like that
You know I adore
Do almost anything for you
Oh yeah I’ll take the risk
As long as it makes sense
What don’t make sense is
Why you have to be
Be so damn mean
You don’t be acting right sometimes
You make it hard for me
And I think
You only do it cause it
(Makes me mad, mad)
You only do it cause it
(Makes me mad, mad)
You only do it when it makes me
(Makes me mad, mad)
And you’re trying to get back at me
You only do it cause it
(Makes me mad, mad)
Yeah you only do it cause it
(Makes me mad, mad)
You only do it when it makes me
(Makes me mad, mad)
And why you gotta be like that?
Tell me
Why
Oh oh why
Oh oh why
Yeah why you gotta be like that
(Why)
Aye my baby’s such a brat
Why you gotta be like that?
Why you gotta be like that?
Why oh why
Why you do the things you do?
Stop it, it’s not cute
Okay, it’s a little cute
Sometimes I can’t stand you
Why you do the things you do?
Stop it, it’s not cute
Okay it’s a little cute
Sometimes..
You only do it cause you
(Know I love you)
Yeah you know
(I love you)
Yeah you know I’m deep in love with you
But sometimes I can’t stand you
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
