Ooh Babe You Got a Hold On Me, I Can't Deny It
You Locked the Door and You Swallowed the Key and I, and I Kept Quiet

Yeah Babe You Got a Hold On Me, I Didn't Wanna Be Alone
I Stayed With You 'cause I Really Believed That I Couldn't Make It On My Own

But I'm Gettin' a Little Bit Smarter, Gettin' Tired of Playin' the Martyr
And I Know What You're All About, I Want Out, I Want Out

Ooh Babe Your Lovin' Told On Me, I Couldn't Smile Anymore
My Friends All Told Me Baby Can't You See, But I Wasn't Seein' Clear Before

Now I'm Gettin' a Little Bit Smarter, Gettin' Tired of Playin' the Martyr
'cos I Know What You're All About, I Want Out, I Want Out

(Instrumental Break)

Ooh Babe You Got a Hold On Me, I Didn't Wanna Be Alone
I Stayed With You 'cause I Really Believed That I Couldn't Make It, I Want Out

Ooh Babe You Got a Hold On Me - I Want Out (Repeats 8x)
