VERSE
I don't know what you're tryna do
I don't know what's on your mind
I can't see just what's come over you
Oooh, baby, won't you show me a sign?
VERSE
I don't know what you're tryna do
I don't know and it's makin' me mad
I can't see just what's come over you
Oooh, baby, where's the love that we had?
BRIDGE
I been true--I been true to you
I done walked the line
Now I can't get close to you
I believe you've changed your mind
(Little girl/yeah) that's that I'm thinkin', but . . .
VERSE
I don't know what you're tryna do
I don't know, won't you kindly explain?
Cuz I can't see just what's come over you
Oooh, baby, what's the name of this game?
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
VERSE
I don't know what you're tryna to
I don't know and it's bringing me down
I can't see just what's come over you
Oooh, babe, and I'm wearing a frown
TAG
