Show Off

You know you got me where you want me
And you can treat me any old way
I know you treat me mean just to taunt me
But I'll do anything you say
I'll do anything just to be around you, baby
Even though you treat me cruel
You tell all your friends I'm such a fool for you
Oh yes, I'm such a fool
But don't leave me
Please don't leave me
Go ahead and put on your show
But baby don't go
Show off
Tell all your friends
Show off
Tell all the town
Show off
Doesn't matter now
Show off
And kick me when I'm down
I've given you my heart and soul
Given you everything I own
And now it's so easy for you to hurt me
By saying you're gonna leave me lone
I've been such a fool for you
Ever since the day I fell
But now I know there is nothing I can do
To get out from under your spell
So don't leave me
Please don't leave me
Go ahead and put on your show
But baby don't go
Show off
Tell all your friends
Show off
Tell all the town
Show off
Doesn't matter now
Show off
And kick me when I'm down
Show off
Show off
Show off
