Well i don't know why you call me, I don't know why you phone
You know i love you baby, so why are you doin' me wrong
You're just stringin' me on
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, you're just stringin' me on

You say you will when you won't, honey I know you don't
You say you would if you could, baby I think you should
You say you don't but you do, what's the matter with you
You're just stringin' me on

We're laughin' and havin' a party, it's late on a saturday night
You hug me and squeeze me, oh how you tease me
But you never kiss me goodnight
You're just stringin' me on
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, you're just stringin' me on

You say you will when you won't, honey I know you don't
You say you would if you could, baby I think you should
You say you don't but you do, what's the matter with you
You're just stringin' me on

Now i've been waitin' such a long long time
For you to be comin' my way
Now I realize by that look in you eyes
That you don't hear a word I say

I been waitin' and hopin', maybe you'll be changin' your mind
I'll go on bein' a fool, playin' it cool
Thinkin' that you'll give me the time
But you're just stringin' me on
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, you're just stringin' me on

You say you will when you won't, honey I know you don't
You say you would if you could, baby i think you should
You say you don't but you do, what's the matter with you
