I know you say love when you mean control
Who stun you with their lies
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you
You buy the truth and your heart is cold
Baby, ooh, baby
Baby, ooh, baby
But you live in terror with the hollow men
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you
I can see the misery in your eyes
So you live in shadows, baby I can't please you
You take the words I say and make them mean
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you
Baby, ooh, baby
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you
Baby, ooh
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you
With fever in their eyes as they drown you? Ooh
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you, baby
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you
Baby, ooh, baby
You say I make your pain
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you
You're blinded by the fear that surrounds you, ooh
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you, baby
But you're trying to turn the blame all around you, ooh
Every time you start to criticize
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you
Baby, ooh, baby
Baby, ooh, baby
Baby I can't please you, I can't please you
Everything they don't, baby, you're obscene
You don't listen, you don't hear
You try to tell the world how it should spin
Baby, ooh, baby
