You Took Advantage of Me Songtext
von Dick Haymes

When a girl has the heart of a mother
It must go to someone of course
It can′t be sister or brother
And so I love my horse
But horses are frequently silly
Mine ran from the beach of Okhala
And left me alone for a filly
So I have picked you up

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 and much worse when you're near
Here I am with all my s burned
Just a babe in arms where you′re concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
Cause you took advantage of me.

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 and much worse when you're near
Here I am with all my s burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
