pick me up and put me down
like a book upon a shelf
and it's not easy to be me
when i'm not feeling myself

turn me on then you turn me down
fill my head with all your lies
it tears a hole in my lonely soul
but you'll never see me cry

and like the sucker i am, i get hooked again
and there's no escape... i can hardly wait!
and with a devilish grin, she reels me in...

Make me rush, then you make me wait
like a mouse in a maze..
use me up, then you toss me out
like a faded suitcase

give me love then you take it away
and it makes me wanna scream
i wish i could make my time with you
turn from a nightmare to a dream

and like the sucker i am, i get hooked again
and there's no escape... i can hardly wait!
and with a devilish grin, she reels me in...
(i just can't win)

and like the sucker i am, i get hooked again
and there's no escape... i can hardly wait!
and with a devilish grin, she reels me in
i just can't win, i just can't win

and like the sucker i am, i get hooked again
and there's no escape... i can hardly wait!
and with a devilish grin, she reels me in...
(i just can't win...)

no i just can't win, no i just can't win
no i just can't win, so just reel me in...
