Whatever it is its the same old thing
Got me playing this game called roses and rings
Whatever it is the force is the same
It's driving my heels and pumping blood through my veins
Can't you see,
Well you drive me to distraction in the nicest fashion
Can't you see
Well you drive me to distraction with your flowering passion oh yeah
Well I know I'm wrong and I know we fight
And maybe one day it'll be alright
I know I'm wrong but you're so cool, you got me
Pulling strings and I play the fool yeah
Try as I might
Well I know it aint natural but it feels alright
What ever it is its the same old thing
Got me playing a game called roses and rings
Whatever it is the force is the same
It's driving my heels and pumping blood through my veins
Can't you see,
Well you drive me to distraction in the nicest fashion
Can't you see
Well you drive me to distraction with your flowering passion oh yeah
We'll make up our minds and do what's right
It always gets cold on a lonely night
We've come so close we seem so apart cos ya
Kept on running right from the start
Try as I might
Well I know it aint natural but it feels alright
What ever it is its the same old thing
Got me playing a game called roses and rings
Whatever it is the force is the same
It's driving my heels and pumping blood through my veins
Can't you see,
Well you drive me to distraction in the nicest fashion
Can't you see
Well you drive me to distraction with your flowering passion oh yeah
Well now I know I understand
That a woman like you don't need no man
It hurts me so now you're not here
Just blow me a kiss I'm gonna save a tear yeah
Try as I might
Well I know it aint natural but it feels alright
What ever it is it's the same old thing
Got me playing this game called roses and rings
Whatever it is the force is the same
It's driving my heels and pumping blood through my veins
Can't you see,
Well you drive me to distraction in the nicest fashion
Can't you see
Well you drive me to distraction with your flowering passion oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
