  • Are you a man who loves
    And cherishes and cares for me?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
    Are you a guard in a prison maximum security?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
    Do we stay home all the time
    'Cause you want me to yourself?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
    Or am I locked away
    Out of fear that I'd find someone else?
    Is that you? Is that you? Yeah

    Well, I don't like (hee-hee)
    Living under your spotlight (hee-hee)
    Just because you think I might (hee-hee)
    Find somebody worthy (whoa)
    Oh, I don't like (yeah-hee-hee)
    Living under your spotlight (yeah-hee-hee)
    Maybe if you treat me right (yeah-hee-hee)
    Then you won't have to worry (whoa)

    Is this a relationship
    Fulfilling your needs as well as mine?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
    Or is this just my sentence, am I doing time?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah (oh)
    If this is love, real, real love
    Then I'm staying no doubt
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you? Yeah
    But if I'm just love's prisoner
    Then I'm busting out
    Is that you? Is that you? Yeah (oh, baby)

    Well, I don't like (hee-hee)
    Living under your spotlight (hee-hee) (spotlight)
    Just because you think I might (hee-hee) (just because you think I might)
    Find somebody worthy (whoa) (find somebody worthy)
    Oh, I don't like (yeah-hee-hee) (I don't like)
    Living under your spotlight (yeah-hee-hee) (living under your, under your)
    Maybe if you treat me right (yeah-hee-hee) (treat me right)
    Then you won't have to worry (whoa) (you won't have to worry, no, no)

    Oh, you ought to be ashamed of yourself
    What the hell so you think you're doing?
    Loving me, loving me so wrong
    Baby, all I do is try (try)
    To show you that you're my (my)
    One and only guy (my guy)
    No matter who may come along
    Open your eyes
    'Cause baby, I don't like

    Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo
    Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hey 'cause I don't like

    Well, I don't like (hee-hee)
    Living under your spotlight (hee-hee) (no, no)
    Just because you think I might (hee-hee)
    Find somebody worthy (whoa) (no)
    Oh, I don't like (yeah-hee-hee) (yeah)
    Living under your spotlight (yeah-hee-hee) (living under your spotlight)
    Maybe if you treat me right (yeah-hee-hee) (treat me right, yeah)
    Then you won't have to worry (whoa) (you don't ever have to worry)
