Lyrics
The Sucker is Me
Music and Lyrics by Jeff Neville c2018
Only you can save me
Only you can save me
VERSE:
Everybody tells me I’m the wicked one
Hey that’s alright with me I like to have fun
What I really want most is someone I can trust
To spend all your money and live a life of lust
To prove my love is true I’m gonna need a miracle
You’re sending me backwards I’m crying when I’m cheerful
CHORUS:
The sucker is me ‘cause you’re not playing along
You just make my love wrong
The sucker is me wrap me ‘round your finger now ‘cause you know how
VERSE:
Make love together all through the night
Oh come early morning you’re nowhere in sight
My whole world is shattered trying to break in
Here in the right place but I can never win
I gave you my kisses to turn the screws
Where’s our engagement my diamonds and jewels?
CHORUS:
The sucker is me ‘cause you’re not playing along
You just make my love wrong
The sucker is me wrap me ‘round your finger now ‘cause you know how
BRIDGE:
Gonna have your love
Gonna have your love
Gonna have your love
You hold me up and let me down
You set me up and turn around
You hold me up and let me down
You set me up around
CHORUS:
The sucker is me ‘cause you’re not playing along
You just make my love wrong
The sucker is me wrap me ‘round your finger now ‘cause you know how
The sucker is me
You just make my love wrong
Only you can save me
Only you can save me
