You’re setting me up, you’re turning me down
You’re turning me over and spinning me round
You think you run the show and so you’d better get ready
I’m gonna read you the score, I’m gonna teach you to love me.

I’m checking you out, I’m checking you in
I’m checking you over before I begin
I’m gonna show you how and baby you’re gonna make it
Because I told you before, I’m gonna teach you to love me

You played around, you took me for a ride
I’m the one that always had to try
Now there’s no more changing me, and baby can’t you see
That all I want is no more changing you

I’m picking you up, I’m putting you down
I’m turning you over and spinning you round
Because I’m running the show, I’m gonna teach you to love me
I’m gonna even the score, I’m gonna teach you to love me.

I’m picking you up and putting you down
I’m turning you over and spinning you round
Because I’m running the show, I’m gonna teach you to love me
I’m gonna even the score, I’m gonna teach you to love me.
Because I told you before, I’m gonna teach you to love me
You know I told you before, I’m gonna teach you to love me
