You Took Advantage of Me Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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 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 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 bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you′re concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
You took advantage of me

'Cause you took advantage of me
Yes, you took advantage of me
Oh, you took advantage of me
