TOOTS & THE MAYTALS
- In The Dark Lyrics / with translationsRiddle me this, riddle me this
Riddle me, riddle me that
I bet you don't know just where I'm at
In the dark, you live your life
In the dark, you cheat and lie
In the dark, you want to fuss and fight
In the dark, you will get no life
Listen, people tell me love, love is true
People tell me love, what love can do
You keep on telling me love and then sleep
That's when you try to turn your back on me
I'm so lonely and so blue
I keep on loving no one but you
I wonder where you go, I wonder where you are
And I know one day soon you'll wanna (break my heart)
C'mon c'mon baby
Riddle me, riddle me that
I bet you don't know just where I'm at
In the dark, you live your life
In the dark, you cheat and lie
In the dark, you want to fuss and fight
In the dark, you will get no life
Listen, people tell me love, love is true
People tell me love, what love can do
That's when you try to turn your back on me
I'm so lonely and so blue
I keep on loving no one but you
I wonder where you go, I wonder where you are
And I know one day soon you'll wanna (break my heart)
C'mon c'mon baby
