You say I'm a lucky fella, but you always change your mind,
I always make it out to be, a very special kind, kind.
To leave me sad and lonely, you've got me on a string,
You treat me bad, you make me mad,
I want the real thing, thing.

(But you always stand me up),
Always stand me up,
(Always stand me up),

Well I got my reservations, that's keeping you from doin',
The games you play that makes you say,
"Am I misunderstood?"

('Cause you always stand me up),
Always stand me up,
(Always stand me up),

You leave me sad and lonely, you've got me on a string,
You treat me bad, you make me mad,
I want the real thing, thing.

But you always stand me up,
Always stand me up,
Always stand me up.
