Manipulation Lyrics by Chicago
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
You thought you had me in your pocket,
But I never could be bought;
I avoided traps you set out;
Too many have been caught.

Be it love or be it money,
It's the bait you must resist;
Be it milk or be it honey,
This is one boy, you have missed.

You knew if you could win me over,
I would always see your side;
Any argument against you,
I'd never let it ride.

I defended with devotion;
I believed what you had said,
But you dealt without emotion;
Something happened in your head.
You thought you had me in your pocket,   But I never could be bought;   I avoided traps you set out;   Too many have been caught.      Be it love or be it money,   It's the bait you must resist;   Be it milk or be it honey,   This is one boy, you have missed.      You knew if you could win me over,   I would always see your side;   Any argument against you,   I'd never let it ride.      I defended with devotion;   I believed what you had said,   But you dealt without emotion;   Something happened in your head.
