0:01Fellas I want you to listen to me
0:03'Cause I know ya'll will know what I am talkin' bout here today

0:12Every time I let my feelings show
0:16I sing this same old song
0:19OW Listen to me people
0:24How come every time I try to put my best foot forward
0:28All I wind up doing is putting it in my mouth
0:32Somebody's got to tell me
0:34I keep trying to do the right thing
0:38But I keep doing it the wrong way
0:42Every time that I try to win her lovin'
0:46I keep doing it the wrong way
0:50I send her flowers - she starts to sneeze
0:54I didn't know that she had allergies
0:58(oh yeah yeah yeah)
0:59I told her I apologize and I'll make it up to you
1:06Listen to me
1:07'Cause I was tryin' to do the right thing
1:11But I keep doing it the wrong way
1:15Every time that I try to win her lovin'
1:19I keep doing it the wrong way
1:23A four course meal - she called it a snack
1:27I even took her to my crib and she called my place a shack
1:31(oh yeah yeah yeah)
1:33I tried to please the kind of girl
1:36Whose tastes are particular
1:39Man this girl's about to break my back
