I have mixed emotions
when it comes to loving you
I know I shouldn't like the things you shouldn't do
but if you were perfect
it wouldnt be the same
to a tiger a tiger's not a tiger if he's tame
but when you're near me I am happy just alone with you
but when you're far away from me I'm awfully blue
you're the bitter and the sweet combined
so what am I to do
I have mixed emotions over you
(musical interlude)
