(I can't stay mad at you)

You can make me cry
You can break my heart
But I'll never say we're through
Even when I cry
I can't stay mad at you

You can run around
You can tell me lies
But there's nothing I can do
I'll never say goodbye
'Cause I can't stay mad at you
(I can't stay mad at you)

I got mad at you last night
When you were holding another girl tight
But when I thought about all your charms
I bounced right back into your arms

One thing you'll know for sure
I won't be the one
To fall in love with someone new
I'll love you till I die
And I can't stay mad at you
(I can't stay mad at you)

(Instrumental Break)

I bounced right back into your arms

One thing you'll know for sure
I won't be the one
To fall in love with someone new
I'll love you till I die
And I can't stay mad at you

(Shooby-dooby-doo-bop)
(Down-down-dee-dooby-dooby)
You got me where you want me
(Shooby-dooby-doo-bop)
(Down-down-dee-dooby-dooby)
(Shooby-dooby-doo-bop)........FADE
