You Took Advantage of Me Full Lyrics

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all What's the use of trying not to fall? I have no will, you've made your kill 'Cause you took advantage of me I'm just like an apple on a bough And you're gonna shake me down somehow So what's the use? You've cooked my goose 'Cause you took advantage of me I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know My elbow from my ear I suffer something awful each time you go Much worse when you are near Here I am with all my bridges burned Just a babe in arms where you're concerned So lock the doors and call me yours 'Cause you took advantage of me I'm just like an apple on a bough And you're gonna shake me down somehow So what's the use? You've cooked my goose 'Cause you took advantage of me I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know My elbow from my ear I suffer something awful each time you go Much worse when you are near Here I am with all my bridges burned Just a babe in arms where you're concerned So lock the doors and call me yours 'Cause you took advantage of me
