You Took Advantage of Me
Love's Folly Unveiled: Ziggy Elman's Melodic Confession
Lyrics
When a girl has the heart of a mother
When a girl possesses nurturing qualities like a mother
It must go to someone of course
Those qualities naturally seek an outlet or recipient
It can't be sister or brother
They can't be directed towards siblings
And so I love my horse
So, I redirect that affection to my horse
But horses are frequently silly
However, horses can often behave foolishly or unpredictably
Mine ran from the beach of Okhala
My horse fled from Okhala's beach
And left me alone for a filly
Leaving me alone and choosing a young female horse (filly)
So I have picked you up
Therefore, I've turned to you instead
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
I am overly emotional and sentimental
What's the use of trying not to fall?
Resisting falling in love seems futile
I have no will, you've made your kill
I lack the strength to resist; you've conquered me
Cause you took advantage of me
Because you've taken advantage of my vulnerability
I'm just like an apple on a bough
I'm like a ripe apple on a tree branch
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
And you're going to figuratively shake me off that branch
So, what's the use, you've cooked my goose
Thus, rendering me helpless as you've already won
Cause you took advantage of me
Because you've exploited my vulnerability
I'm so hot and bothered that
I'm deeply agitated and distressed
I don't know my elbow from my ear
I'm so disoriented that I can't differentiate body parts
I suffer something awful each time
I suffer immensely each time you depart
You go and much worse when you're near
And the suffering intensifies when you're close
Here I am with all my bridges burned
I've severed all ties or connections due to you
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
I'm utterly defenseless in your presence
So lock the doors and call me yours
So, secure me as yours as a result of your actions
Cause you took advantage of me.
Because you've taken advantage of my vulnerability
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
I am excessively sentimental and emotional
What's the use of trying not to fall?
It's pointless to resist falling for you
I have no will, you've made your kill
My willpower is nonexistent; you've triumphed
Cause you took advantage of me
Because you've exploited my vulnerability
I'm just like an apple on a bough
I'm akin to a ripe apple on a branch
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
You're inevitably going to dislodge me
So, what's the use, you've cooked my goose
Thus, rendering me powerless as you've already won
Cause you took advantage of me
Because you've taken advantage of my vulnerability
I'm so hot and bothered that
I'm deeply agitated and distressed
I don't know my elbow from my ear
I'm so disoriented that I can't differentiate body parts
I suffer something awful each time
I suffer immensely each time you depart
You go and much worse when you're near
And the suffering intensifies when you're close
Here I am with all my bridges burned
I've severed all ties or connections due to you
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
I'm utterly defenseless in your presence
So lock the doors and call me yours
So, secure me as yours as a result of your actions
Cause you took advantage of me
Because you've taken advantage of my vulnerability
You took advantage of me
You've exploited my vulnerability
