Is it true, is it true, or have I been mistaken?
Is it you, is it you, who started this troublemaking?
Sure I’m a fool, I’m a fool for putting my heart in such a situation
I try to keep my cool, keep my cool, baby I’ve grown impatient
You’ve got my attention, now was that your intention?
Baby, don’t put me on your backburner

When I start thinking ‘bout you and me
It gets my pulse a-racing
You don’t seem to care much about me
When I’m looking in your direction
Oh girl, you can take it or leave it
Baby, are you too blind to see that
You’re leaving me high and dry
And when you’re taking my love girl
Why you wait for another
You’ve gone and crossed the line
You’ve got my attention
Now was that your intention
Baby, don’t put me on your backburner

I’ve been waiting a long, long time for a girl like you
But I ain’t wasting any one of my days ‘cause I got better things to do
You’re giving me grief, but I ain’t no thief
You seem to be the one who misunderstood
‘Cause you keep turning your back, turning your back when things were just getting good
Baby, don’t put me on your backburner
