Baby, oh, baby
Why do you treat me this way?
You're acting like a baby
All you want to do is play
But I just want to get down to business
I just want to get next to you

Baby, oh, baby
Why do you hurt me so?
You tease me
Then you leave me all hot chilled cold
Getting me crazy

And I don't know where I'm bound
It's a short road to love
But you're taking me the long way around

Why don't you come
And cuddle up next to me
And help me forget

Well you've been nothing but a heartache to me
Since the night we met
It's a short road to love
But you're taking me the long way around

Baby, oh baby
Why do you hurt me so?
You tease me
Then you leave me all hot chilled cold
Getting me crazy

And I don't know where I'm bound
It's a short road to love
But you're taking me the long way around

It's a short road to love
But you're taking me the long way around
It's a short road to love
But you're taking me the long way around
