You Took Advantage Of Me Lyrics - Anita O'day

In the spring when the feeling was chronic 

And my caution was leaving you flat, 

I should have made use of the tonic 

Before you gave me that! 

A mental deficient you'll grade me. 

I've given you plenty of data. 

You came, you saw and you slayed me, 

And that-a is that-a! 

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all. 

What's the use of trying not to fall? 

I have no will, 

You've made your kill 

'Cause you took advantage of me! 

I'm just like an apple on a bough 

And you're gonna shake me down somehow. 

So what's the use, 

You've cooked my goose 

'Cause you took advantage of me! 

I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know 

My elbow from my ear. 

I suffer something awful each time you go 

And much worse when you're near. 

Here am I with all my bridges burned, 

Just a babe in arms where you're concerned, 

So lock the doors 

And call me yours 

'Cause you took advantage of me. 

When a girl has the heart of a mother 

It must go to someone, of course; 

It can't be a sister or brother 

And so I loved my horse. 

But horses are frequently silly 

Mine ran from the beach of Kailua 

And left me alone for a filly, 

So I-a picked you-a. 

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all. 

What's the use of trying not to fall? 

I have no will, 

You've made your kill 

'Cause you took advantage of me! 

I'm just like an apple on a bough 

And you're gonna shake me down somehow. 

So what's the use, 

You've cooked my goose 

'Cause you took advantage of me! 

I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know 

My elbow from my ear. 

I suffer something awful each time you go 

And much worse when you're near. 

Here am I with all my bridges burned, 

Just a babe in arms where you're concerned, 

So lock the doors 

And call me yours 

'Cause you took advantage of me.
