It's a mystery how pieces of me   Can put back together so easily   You strike me down from my head to the ground   You thought I lost what you have found      You figured me out   You've shaken me down   So won't you tell me what I'm all about?   Please ooh, ooh, please      If I'm easy to read   Won't you tell me what I need?   'Cause I'm down on my knees   Begging you, baby   Please, ooh, ooh, please      I'm hypnotized by this world we live in   But you know which way   My pendulum's swinging   With you I'm a loser winning      It's a mystery how it could be   That you got the look to see right through me   But now I'm complete, back on my feet   Stepping to the beat, you made so sweet      You figured me out   You've shaken me down   So won't you tell me what I'm all about?   Please, ooh, ooh, please      If I'm easy to read   Won't you tell me what I need?   'Cause I'm down on my knees   Begging you, baby   Please, ooh, ooh, please      I'm hypnotized by this world we live in   But you know which way   My pendulum's swinging   With you I'm a loser winning      Ordinary thoughts, ever kind   Got me on a status that crossed my mind   Possibly in another mind   Won't you come and make up my mind, oh      Oh, I'm hypnotized by this world we live in   But you know which way   My pendulum's swinging   With you I'm a loser winning
