Ev'ry time ya tell me ya love me
You be tellin' me a lie
'Coz ev'ry time I turn around
Find ya lovin' some other guy
And when he's done an' dumped ya cry
You comin' back to me
We'll I ain't playin' this game no more
Hey Baby, can't ya see?

Well, I need it
And I want it
Gotta have it
All your love
So, if you care
Then play me fair
Not gonna be you're
Pig-in-the-middle

I call and call and leave ya message
But ya never call me back
Thinkin' yo with someone else
Gonna give me a heart attack
Then out o' the blue like a lightnin' bolt
Yo standing at ma door
One last chance to dump the other guy
I ain't takin' any more

'Coz, I need it
And I want it
Gotta have it
All your love
So, if you care
Then play me fair
Not gonna be you're
Pig-in-the-middle

(bridge)
What's it gonna be now?
Is it him or is it me now?
Time's runnin' out now
What?
Time's up!

(inst)

Do I need it?
Do I want it?
Did I ever have it?
All your love
Did you care?
When I played fair
Not gonna be
Pig-in-the-middle

Well Babe I'm done bein' pig-in-the-middle
You bin playin' me along
I'll fin me another love
Singin' me a different song
And when you're dumpe and cryin'
And you runnin' back to me
You'll find someone missin' from the middle
That someone will be me!

I don't need it
I don't want it
Just can't use it
Keep your love
If you'd played me fair
I'd still be there
Not now
Pig-in-the-middle
