You Took Advantage Of Me    (1928)

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will, you've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me!

I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
So, what's the use, you've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me!

I'm so hot and bothered that I don't
Know my elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near

Here I am with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me

Lyrics by Lorenz Hart.
Composed by Richard Rodgers.
Recorded by Joyce Barbour and Busby Berkeley; Judy Garland; Ella Fitzgerald; Tony Bennett; many others.
For the musical Present Arms (1928).
