The Alan Parsons Project

Winding Me Up

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

Well it was only a game she was mine for the asking

And I'd figured the whole thing out

When she told me her name it was more than a feeling

There wasn't any doubt


Well it felt so good it was too hard to break it

Too much for me to explain

But in a matter of time I'm gonna be myself again


You've been

Winding me up too long

I'm over my head is it day or night

Cause woman you ain't so strong

But you caught me by surprise

Burned me with your eyes

Cut me down to size

Saw through my disguise


Well it was only a game she was only a number

But I figured it out all wrong

Every time that I said I'll move on tomorrow

I hung around too long

Well it felt so good it was too hard to break it

Too much before me to face

Now I got nowhere to run she knows my every hidin' place


You've been

Winding me up too long

I'm over my head is it day or night

Cause woman you ain't so strong

But you caught me by surprise

Burned me with your eyes

Cut me down to size

Saw through my disguise


Winding me up too long

I'm over my head is it day or night

Cause woman you ain't so strong

But you caught me by surprise

Burned me with your eyes

Cut me down to size

Beat me to the prize

Hurt me with your lies

Burned me with your eyes

Cut me down to size

Saw through my disguise
