Song Lyrics

My love
I don't know what to do with you, baby
Sweet love
Half of the time you got me crazy
Bitter love
Sometimes hard, sometimes shady
Sweet bitter love

Baby, why can't we
Learn to live together in sweet harmony?
My love, you know it ain't right
The way you got up, ooh the way we fuss and fight

You think you own me
Don't try to control me
Oh I'm not a puppet on a string
You've got to trust me
If you really want me
Let love guide your heart, don't let the magic fade

My love
I don't know what to do with you, baby
Sweet love
Half of the time you got me crazy, crazy
Bitter love
Sometimes hard, sometimes shady
Sweet bitter love

Baby, I'm so blue
Why can't we fly
The way that all the lovers do?
Only you can make it right
Hey, let's put an end, ooh, to long and sleepless nights
Love is a gamble
It's too hot to handle
Oh but understanding is the key
Hold me, caress me
Don't try to possess me
Let go, don't you know that love will set us free

My love
Oh, I don't know what to do with you, do with you baby
Sweet love
Half of the time you got me crazy so crazy
Bitter love
Sometimes hard, sometimes shady
Sweet bitter love

Love is a gamble
It's too hot to handle
Oh but understanding is the key
Hold me, caress me
Don't try to possess me
Let go, don't you know that love will set us free

My love
Ooh my, sweet baby
Sweet love
Baby
Bitter love
Don't you know our love's such a bitter love?
Sweet bitter love

Can we take some time before I lose my mind (my love)
'Cause I don't wanna quit, let's make some sense of it (sweet love)
You're the one I love, you're the one I'm thinkin' of
