Lyrics

By richard starkey and vini poncia
Version: album version (3:42)

Ever since I met you, baby
I've been acting kinda strange
I wake up in the morning
Then without a warning
All I do is scream your name, yeh

Ev'rytime I look inside me
I see the man that I've become
You make me wanna holler
And jump right out my collar
You've got me on the run, yeh

Oo-wee, babe, oo-wee, yeh
Friends don't recognise me
They say you hypnotise me
Oo, what you done to me, babe?
You drive me out of my sunsets, oo-wee

She look just like the new jean harlow, (ooohh!)
With sultry lips and long blonde hair
They say she came from haites
Or was it the euphrates
That brought my lady here, yeh?

Oo-wee, babe, oo-wee, yeh
Friends don't understand me
They say you underhand me
Oo, what you done to me, babe?
You drive me out of my senses, oo-wee, yeh

-"Take it, john!"
(Oo-oo-oo)
-"It's my doctor playing!"
(Oo-oo-oo)

When I walk into her parlour
It's like the spider and the fly
In the darkness she surrounds me
And weaves her web around me
And locks me up inside, yeh

She look just like the new jean harlow, (harlow)
With sultry lips and long blonde hair. (ooohh!)
They say she came from haites
Or was it the euphrates
That brought my lady here, uh, uh?

Oo-wee, babe, oo-wee, yeh
Friends don't understand me
They say you underhand me
Oo, what you done to me, babe?
You drive me out of my senses, oo-wee, yeh. (oo-wee)
Oo-wee, babe, (oo-wee)
Oo-wee, babe, (oo-wee)
Oo-wee, babe, (oo-wee)
Oo-wee, babe. (oo-wee)

(Oo-wee)
