Why do you do this, (Why do you do this)
You make me feel so blue, (so blue)
Come on you know that, (Come on you know that)
I can't keep from loving you. (he loves her...)
I'm really not so bad, (he's really not so bad...)
I'm sure that you can see, (you can see...)
It's just that you're zooming in, (ZOOM!!)
On the tattoo above my knee. (Tattoo-ah...)
Yes I know what it says, (he knows what it says...)
It says TI-82, (the Ti-82's...)
You say it looks dorky, (oh so dorky)
But I think that it rings oh so true. (ring-a-ding-ding!)
'Cause nobody's perfect, (no nobody...)
Sure as hell not me, (oh helll...)
In you're eyes I might be, (only you can see...)
If it weren't for that thing on my knee. (Tattoo-ah...)
Well I love my '82, (he loves his '82...)
Almost as much as I love you, (he's so true...)
And if you saw me play Archery, (bull's eye!)
You might really fall for me. (he's falling...)
Oh baby please baby please (baby baby oh baby please)
Please baby I'm on my knees (he's down upon his knees...)
The peaks I'd climb for you (Mount Everest...)
Would wear off my tattoo. (tattoo-ah...)
Why do you do this, (who do you do this?)
You make me feels so blue, (so blue...)
You're my Aphrodite (goddes of love...)
And if we go together (oh love...)
You'd have to meet Hugh (who?)
Hugh's my TI-82... (Tattoo-ah...)
