Intro

(Arpeggiated)

Whatever it is, it’s the same old thing

 Got me playing this game called roses and rings

Whatever it is the force is the same

 It’s driving my heels and pumping blood through my veins

(Arpeggiated)

Can’t you see,

 Well you drive me to distraction in the nicest fashion

Can’t you see

 Well you drive me to distraction with your flowering passion, oh yeah

Well I know I’m wrong and I know we fight

And maybe one day it’ll be alright

I know I’m wrong but you’re so cool, you got me

Pulling strings and I play the fool yeah

Try as I might

 Well I know it ain’t natural but it feels alright

What ever it is, it’s the same old thing

 Got me playing a game called roses and rings

Whatever it is the force is the same

 It’s driving my heels and pumping blood through my veins

Can’t you see,

 Well you drive me to distraction in the nicest fashion

Can’t you see

 Well you drive me to distraction with your flowering passion, oh yeah

We’ll make up our minds and do what’s right

It always gets cold on a lonely night

We’ve come so close we seem so apart ‘cos ya

Kept on running right from the start

Try as I might

 Well I know it ain’t natural but it feels alright

What ever it is, it’s the same old thing

 Got me playing a game called roses and rings

Whatever it is the force is the same

 It’s driving my heels and pumping blood through my veins

Can’t you see,

 Well you drive me to distraction in the nicest fashion

Can’t you see

 Well you drive me to distraction with your flowering passion, oh yeah

Well now I know I understand

That a woman like you don’t need no man

It hurts me so now you’re not here

Just blow me a kiss I’m gonna save a tear yeah

Try as I might

 Well I know it ain’t natural but it feels alright

What ever it is, it’s the same old thing

 Got me playing a game called roses and rings

Whatever it is the force is the same

 It’s driving my heels and pumping blood through my veins

Can’t you see,

 Well you drive me to distraction in the nicest fashion

Can’t you see

 Well you drive me to distraction with your flowering passion, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah
