I say you are my queen, but you say I'm not so keen,
Oh baby, what's the reason I'm not pleasing you.

If I kiss you, you get mad. If I don't then you feel bad.
Oh baby, what's the reason I'm not pleasing you.

I tried so hard to be nice, and treat you as I should,
But you keep me on ice and that don't do me no good.

Since the night that we met, is the night that I regret,
Oh baby, what's the reason I'm not pleasing you.

I say you are my queen. (But she says you're not so keen.)
I wonder, what's the reason I'm not pleasing her.

If I kiss her, she gets mad. (If you don't then she feels bad.)
I wonder, what's the reason I'm not pleasing her.

Cause I tried so hard to be nice and treat her as I should.
(But she keeps you on ice and that don't do you no good.)

Since the night that we met, is the night that she regrets,
And maybe that's the reason I'm not pleasing
That's the reason I'm not pleasing her.
