[Intro]
I ought to stay away from you
I ought to start behavin' wise
I have to walk by fast
And walk right past those crazy eyes
[Verse 1]
I ought to lock myself away
So I can't do the things I do
It is a pure disgrace
The way I'm chasin' after you
[Chorus]
But I can't do what I can't
I don't do what I don't
I must do what I will
But I will not do what I won't
I ought to stay away from you
Because you just don't love me right
A little love is fine
But I want mine day and night
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I ought to stay away from you
You got me dreamin' out of bed
I know that no one ought to think
The thought that fills my head
[Chorus]
But I can't do what I can't
I don't do what I don't
I must do what I will
But I will not do what I won't
I ought to stay away from you
Because you just don't love me right
A little love is fine
But I want mine day and night
[Outro]
I ought to stay away from you
I ought to stay away from you
I ought to stay away from you
I ought to stay away from you
I ought to stay away from you...
