Oops

On and then off again; now you ain't sure when, askin' me why I seem to doubt,
You know how hard it is to see a yellow brick road when you weavin' in an' out?
Can't really be sure if your love is true, baby, 'cause the answer's never straight,
One moment you can't live without me then you say forever gonna have to wait.
Don't want noone but you an' it's enough to keep me holdin' on just a little more,
Funny how your excuses never change an' I'm still the same sucker I was before.

From where I sit it seems easy; you follow the heart from somethin' bad to good,
Right into these arms of mine, achin' just to hold you close, oh, if you only would.
What is it about the man that ignored you make you hold onto him one more day?
And how am I the impatient one when you came to me beggin' to steal you away?
Got to ask myself what the hell I been thinkin' getting myself tangled in all of this,
Caught between what I want and who got you, tempted by the sugar of your kiss.

Ah, I got you now; this a game you been playin' to see if I'm the nut who'll crack,
Give me just enough promises to whet my appetite an' then reel the bait on back.
Ain't fallin' for it anymore, 'cause there come time to stop hangin' upon your line,
Do believe I'll find myself another catch more comfortable in callin' herself mine.
I see the great big ocean awaiting, so I leave you with a penny and this thought;
That as you wish for someone like me the only thing you hear is "Oops, I forgot!"
