Well on the day I was born, I said, “Bless my soul,
Somebody must’ve torn me in two,
And left one half with a wild pack of dogs,
Sent the other out looking for you.”
Now baby, two heads may be better than one, you know,
But half a heart is never gonna do. It leaves you running around
with ‘em both hung down
Just howling those Gemini blues.
Hey, I thought I told ya,
Ooh, baby that I ain’t no good,
Shame might as well be my last name.
But I am trying hard to love you like I should.
Ooh, baby like I should.
You think I'm pulling your strings,
But babe I'm giving you wings
And getting higher than you ever coulda flew.
By the end of the game
I'll have you calling my name,
And wondering when we ever gonna lose.
And if you just don't believe,
Or think I'm pulling your sleeve,
Well, I hate to have to tell you the news.
I'll get you under my thumb
Or send you out on the run,
Just moanin' those Gemini Blues.
Hey, I thought I told ya,
Ooh, baby that I ain’t no good,
Shame you don't understand this game.
But I am trying hard to love you like I should.
Ooh, baby like I should.
