Some people tell me I've got great legs
Can't figure out why you make me beg
Does not compute
Do not compute
Youthink you're special, well so do I
Why do special women make me cry?
Does not compute, baby
Somethin' don't compute
Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water they drink
Why else would a woman want to treat a man so bad?
People think I'm kind of smart
Why must a fellow stop with you before he starts?
Do not compute
I'll buy you clothing, buy you fancy cars
But you got to talk to me, baby, tell me who you really are
Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water they drink
Why else would a woman want to treat a man so bad?
Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water they drink
'Cause'why else would a woman want to treat a man so bad?
Oh, Lord
I said must be something in the water they drink
Same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water they drink
'Cause why else would a woman want to treat a man so
