Fatal beauty, the chokin' kind

 Dangerous feeling in this heart of mine

 How can you love me

 And treat me so unkind

 You got me floppin' like a fish in a pan

 Ain't no way to treat your man

 

 Maydell

 Baby won't you please love me

 Maydell, you sure put the squeeze on me

 I don't know why I love you,

 You put me through hell

 I can't break your spell, Maydell

 

 Fire spreads quick through the neighborhood

 Talk is cheap if the story's good

 Nobody said you did, but everybody said that you would

 You got me feelin' like a dog, chasin' his tail

 I'll never catch you - you play the game too well

 

 Maydell

 Baby won't you please love me

 Maydell, you sure put the squeeze on me

 I don't know why I love you,

 You put me through hell

 I can't break your spell, Maydell

 

 Every time I try to walk away,

 Just walk away

 You bat them eyes, beg me to stay,

 Honey won't you stay

 Ruby red lips, callin' my name

 Forget about the sorrow and the shame

 Maydell

 

 Every time I try to walk away,

 Just walk away

 You bat them eyes, beg me to stay,

 Honey won't you stay

 Ruby red lips, callin' my name

 Forget about the sorrow and the shame

 Maydell

 

 Maydell

 Baby won't you please love me

 Maydell, you sure put the squeeze on me

 I don't know why I love you,

 You put me through hell

 I can't break your spell, Maydell
