[Verse 1]
I've been loving you from a distance
Oh ain't love wonderful
Only a fool in love would understand (Would understand)
'Cause the greatest joy in life (Joy in life)
Is for me to get next to you (For me to get next to you)
Cause I know one day you'll make me a happy man (Happy happy)
[Chorus]
It's your mixed up moods and your attitudes
I don't need them (I don't)
I dont need them
Hang 'em high
Up on a New York side
Why, to see
Mixed up moods and attitudes
I can't use them (I can't)
I can't use them
Hang 'em high
Up on a New York side
[Verse 2]
The day you walked into my life was confusing
It was hard for me to see
What you were using (You were using)
But since that time
I've earned this song
That's been done to me so many times before
And baby I ain't falling for that no more (Not no more)
You know why
[Chorus]
It's your mixed up moods and your attitudes
I don't need them (I don't)
I dont need them
Hang 'em high
Up on a New York side
For why, to see
Mixed up moods and your attitudes
I can't use them (I can't)
I sure can't use them
Hang 'em high
Up on the New York side
[Verse 3]
One minute, a perfect angel
Then the next you're a silly silly clown
Take a smile filled with happiness
Turn it upside down (Upside down)
First you say you love me
Then again, say you don't (For me to get next to you)
Do you promise to always be by my side
Now you tell me that you won't
You know why (I know why)
[Chorus]
It's your mixed up moods and your attitudes
I don't need them (I don't)
I dont need them
Hang 'em high
Up on a New York side
For why, to see
Mixed up moods and attitudes
I can't use them (I can't)
I sure can't use them
Hang 'em high
Up on a New York side

[Verse 4]
I been loving you from a distance
Oh ain't love wonderful
But only a fool in love would understand (Would understand)
Cause the greatest joy in life (Joy in life)
Is for me to get next to you (For me to get next to you)
Cause I know one day you'll make me a great big man
(Great big man)
You know what
[Chorus x4]
It's your mixed up moods and your attitudes
I don't need them (I don't)
I dont need them
Hang 'em high
Up on a New York side
For why, to see
Mixed up moods and attitudes
I dont need them (I don't)
I sure can't use them
Hang 'em high
Up on a New York side
