The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yes you want it slow, then you want it fast.
You know that I give you, wherever you ask
Now baby you got me, wherever you want me
So why don't you want me
You beg me to stay, when I try to go home
You told me you love me and you need me so
And that's how you got me, just what you want me
Tell me why don't you want me, I just wanna know
I work just like a dog on you
Just to buy you pretty things
My friends and my family,
They think that I'm real, real, real fool
They think that you got me hanging like a puppet on his string
I may be a fool
I may be a clown
I know, I know you want me, yes you do
And you need me when I'm not around
Now you honey you got me, wherever you want me
So tell me why don't you want me
I work just like a dog on you
Just to buy you pretty things
My friends and my family,
They think that I'm real, real, real fool
They think you got me hanging like a puppet on his string
I may be a fool
I may be a clown
I know, I know you want me, yes you do
And you need me when I'm not around
Now you honey you got me, wherever you want me
Tell me why don't you want me
I know, I know you want me, yes you do
Tell me why don't you want me
