I’m gonna tell ya what it’s all about
Sweet thang’s tryin’ to put me out
She gone and found herself another man
She tryin’ to let me down as fast as she can

It’s only love, it drives me crazy
It’s only love pretty baby
Baby, what you tryin’ to do

Well after runnin’ round a time or two
I found out only the best will do
Well it’s your own fault for lettin’ her go
So maybe now you’ll take it slow

It’s only love, it drives me crazy
It’s only love pretty baby
Baby, what you tryin’ to do

Well, it’s all over now but the cryin’
I keep on payin’ the price for my lyin’
Don’t let it get you down it ain’t nothin’ new
You ain’t the only one that it’s happened to

It’s only love, it drives me crazy
It’s only love pretty baby
Baby, what you tryin’ to do
