[Verse 1:]
I've always been the perfect kind
The loving and forgiving type
I'll buy your clothes, prepare your meals
After working hard all day
I never ask much of you, baby
But a little little sympathy
But you want to control where I go
Who I see
You criticize me
I thought you were my baby
You're acting kind of crazy
You accused me of being with the plummer
You said I found another lover
Mentally, I can't take no more
Of this strange relationship
You're driving me insane with all your hype
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[Chorus:]
The strait jacket, the strait jacket love affair
Oh, it's so confining
No, there's no denying
The strait jacket, the strait jacket love affair
Oh, it's so confining
No, there's no denying
[Verse 2:]
You're always wanting me around your homies
It's impossible to have a decent conversation
About this relationship
But when it's time to squeeze me
You turn into Mr. Wonderful
You bust a move and then
You change back into Mr. Attitude
I thought you were my baby
You're acting kind of crazy
You accused me of being with the plummer
You said I found another lover
Baby, I'm at that breaking point
This is a lithium relationship
I'm obviously not into the mix
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
The strait jacket love affair
The way I feel about you
I'd die for you
But you sometimes insult me
You want to control me
This strait jacket love affair
[Spoken:]
And there ain't nothing I can do about it
Our communication levels are down
We give each other attitude on a consistent basis
I swear it's like a monkey on my back
The way we love each other, baby?
It's like a pimp in a Cadillac
Pimp in a Cadillac
Sing!
[Chorus] (2x)
[Ad libs:]
Boom shakalaka laka
Baby, sing, baby
Yes!
Can't you tell I love you?
Sing! Yes!
Love you babe
Sing...
I love you babe, I love you baby...
