Verse:
Baby, what's wrong with you?
I can't get along with you;
When it comes to romance,
You're never in the mood.
I say, "Yes," you say, "No,"
I say, "Stop," and you say, "Go;"
Lately, honey, I can't understand your attitude.
Chorus:
If you don't love me
Like you used to love me,
That's sabotage!
If you don't kiss me
Like you used to kiss me,
That's sabotage!
If you hear sirens screaming those be-alert alarms,
Don't run helter-skelter,
There's a bomb-proof shelter
In my arms.
If you don't thrill me
Like you used to thrill me,
That's sabotage!
Some fifth-column jerk
Did his dirty work,
And changed your mind about me.
I can't sleep, I've got to keep my F. B. I. on you,
'Cause if you've been untrue,
That's sabotage!
