lyrics

hey mandalay why you want to treat you man that way
and what is it inside of you that makes you do the things you should't do
and you can't wait until tonight for acting out this opera thats your life

hey mandalay
hey mandalay
hey mandalay
why you do me that way
why you do me that way
ooh ooh ahh ahh
what makes you treat you man that way
what makes you treat you man that way

what demon lives inside of you that makes you do the things you should't do
and brings you out into the night. you wont recall in the morning light
and can't you find another stage for acting out this drama that you make

hey mandalay
hey mandalay
hey mandalay
why you do me that way
why you do me that way
ooh ooh ahh ahh
what makes you treat you man that way
what makes you treat you man that way

in an enchanted garden my love and I did meet
she past this garden with that snow all over her feet
she bid me take love easy as the leaflets grow one the tree
but being young and foolish i would not agree
in a field down by the river my love and i would stand
on my leaning shoulder she would lay her snow white hand
she bid me take love easy as the grass grows on the weir
but i was young and foolish and now i'm full of tears
now i'm full of tears
now i'm full of tears

what makes you treat you man that way
what makes you treat you man that way
now I want to know
hey mandalay
hey mandalay
hey mandalay
why you do me that way
why you do me that way
ooh ooh ahh ahh
what makes you treat you man that way
what makes you treat you man that way
