Why'd I gotta see you
Dancing in the courtyard
With another girl on your arm?
Why'd I gotta see you
Dancing 'round the fountain with her?
You used to be my baby stand by my side
Give me your shoulder for the tears that I cried
Why'd I gotta see you
Dancing 'round the fountain with her?
Oh and just a couple days ago I took a drive
Had you sittin' pretty by my side
I took some notice when
Your eyes they went and took a wander
You saw that long legged beauty takin' a stroll
So busy lookin' couldn't see my eyes roll
Why'd you go a lookin'?
Made me take an awfully sharp turn
Then there was the time when you went away
Said you were workin' both the night and the day
So I called your hotel
And they transferred me to your room
A sweet and sultry voice had answered the phone
You're talkin' different from how you talk at home
How'd you change your voice?
I've never heard you soundin' so high
But the one occasion that got me the most
Was when I caught you lookin' white as a ghost
I got home early and I guess that you did too
Oh the second that my key started turning that lock
I saw the window open and out she dropped!
It's funny that the cleaner
Would clean without any clothes
Oh so why'd I gotta see you
Dancing in the courtyard
With another girl on your arm?
Why'd I gotta see you
Dancing 'round the fountain with her?
You used to be my baby stand by my side
Give me your shoulder for the tears that I cried
Why'd I gotta see you
Dancing 'round the fountain with her?
Why'd I gotta see you
Dancing 'round the fountain with her?
Why'd I gotta see you
Dancing 'round the fountain with her?
