Lyrics:
Aaow! — Hoo hoo!
I don't care what you talkin' 'bout baby
I don't care what you say
Don't you come walkin' beggin' back mama
I don't care anyway
Time after time I gave you all of my money
No excuses to make
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb baby
All is going my way
('Cause there's a time when you're right)
(And you know you must fight)
Who's laughing baby, don't you know
(And there's the choice that we make)
(And this choice you will take)
Who's laughin' baby
So just leave me alone girl — leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone — stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around
(Just stop doggin' me)
There was a time I used to say girl I need you
But who is sorry now
You really hurt, you used to take and deceive me
Now who is sorry now
You got a way of making me feel so sorry
I found out right away
Don't you come walkin'-beggin' I ain't lovin' you
Don't you get in my way
'Cause
(There's a time when you're right)
(And you know you must fight)
Who's laughing baby — don't you know?
(And there's the choice that we make)
(And this choice you must take)
Who's laughin' baby?
So just leave me alone — girl — leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone — girl — leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
Stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around
(Just stop doggin' me)
('Cause there's a time when you're right)
(And you know you must fight)
Who's laughing baby, don't you know, girl
(It's the choice that we make)
(And this choice you will take)
Who's laughin' baby
So just leave me alone — girl — leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone — girl — leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
Stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around
Leave me alone — girl — leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone, girl
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone — stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around
(Just stop doggin' me)
Don't come beggin' me
Don't come beggin'
Don't come lovin' me
Don't come beggin'
I love you
I don't want to
I don't...
