[Intro]
(Do, why do, why do)
Hey! Listen now
(Do, why do, why do)
[Verse 1]
Everybody's talking about their heartache
And crying an ocean of tears
But I'm too strong to be strung along
By some silly boy's foolish charm
[Chorus]
It just boils my blood to see a girl so weak
Weak and humbled at me
Because if it was me I'd make that silly boys see
Ain't nothing they can do to put the hurt on me
[Post-Chorus]
(I'm too strong to be, strung along
By some silly boy's foolish charms)
Now listen! Hey!
(If it was me I'd make those silly boys see
Ain't nothing they can do to put the hurt on me)
[Verse 2]
It made me so mad when I saw Wanetta
Taking in that playboy's jive
I told her once and I told her twice
He'd take her love and leave her cold as ice
[Bridge]
A tip to the wise should be sufficient enough
Playing around with love, girl, is really rough
[Chorus]
It just boils my blood to see a girl so weak
Weak and humbled at me
Because if it was me I'd make that silly boys see
Ain't nothing they can do to put the hurt on me
[Post-Chorus]
(I'm too strong to be, strung along
By some silly boy's foolish charms)
I'm too strong now baby
(If it was me I'd make those silly boys see
Ain't nothing they can do to put the hurt on me)
One more time now!
(I'm too strong to be, strung along
By some silly boy's foolish charms)
Hey, now listen!
(If it was me I'd make those silly boys see
Ain't nothing they can do to put the hurt on me)
I'm too strong baby, too strong
