You better beware, my friends all told me.
When they saw that I was falling for you. You better beware.
Now, they told me that girl ain´t gonna be true.

She´ll have you walking with your head in the air.
Have you thinking that she really, really care.
Then-a, then she´ll let you down, she´ll really let you down.

She´s a girl with no understanding.
And when she´s getting tired of you hanging around
She´ll let you drop and say... have a happy landing.

Oh but I fell for you anyway.
I didn´t care what my friends have to say.
´Cause I was so glad that I had found you.
I build my whole world right around you.

You had me hope on a lie for awhile. (?)
Have me thinking you´d be mine for awhile.
Then-a, then you let me down, you really let me down.

´Cause you´re a girl with no understanding.
And when you´re getting tired of me hanging around
You let me drop and said... come on, have a happy landing.

(Hap-Happy landing)

[Paul:] Ye-ye-yeah, alright

[Paul:] Sounding good, baby. (Alright)
[Paul:] Temptations right here.
[Paul:] Look it here, listen, listen... (Hey)

So now you want me to take you there.
Staying away for a long, long time.
You won´t call it a lost of loving.
Now ya coming back to the scene of your crime.

Gonna keep you in suspense for awhile, yeah.
Keep you hanging on a fence for awhile.
Then-a, then I´ll let you down, I really let you down.

I ain´t gonna have no understanding.
And when I get tired of you hanging around
I´ll let you drop and say... girl, you´ve had your happy landing.

(Hap-Happy landing)

Have a happy landing, now. (Hap-Happy landing)
I´ve got to put you down. (You better have a happy landing)
Don´t want ya hanging around, now. (You better have a happy landing)

Don´t you know that I ought to...
