Lyrics
Do you or don’t you love me?
Such an easy question
Why can’t I get an answer?
Tell me, will you or won’t you need me?
Such an easy question
Why can’t I get an answer?All you do is give a sigh
And beat around the bush
Can it be that you’re too shy
To give yourself a little old push?
Can you or can’t you tell me yes?
It’s such an easy question
Why can’t I get an answer?All you do is give a sigh
And beat around the bush
Can it be that you’re too shy
To give yourself a little old push?
Can you or can’t you tell me yes?
It’s such an easy question
Why can’t I get an answer?
Oh, yeah
It’s such an easy answer
To such an easy question
Why can’t I get an answer
To such an easy question?
