Mental Hopscotch Lyrics by Missing Persons

Missing Persons

[Verse 1]
Sometimes you say you will, sometimes you say you won't
You always keep me waiting, waiting, hesitating-tating
At times I think you do, at times I think you don't
My mind is roller-skating, skipping, jumping rope, and fading
[Chorus]
Mental hopscotch
Why must you treat me this way?
Mental hopscotch
Ready or not, I'm going away
[Verse 2]
Why can't you be like this, why can't you be like that?
I don't know where I am or where, don't know where I'm at
So now you got me up, and now you got me down
You will be walking, you'll be talking, watch me now, it's crazy
[Chorus]
Mental hopscotch
Why must you treat me this way?
Mental hopscotch
Ready or not, I'm going away
Mental hopscotch
Cover your eyes and count to ten
Mental hopscotch
Don't do 'em up till I say when
[Verse 3]
So now you get me up, and now you get me down
You will be walking, you'll be doing what you love, baby
You don't think twice about what I might say
I follow you around and pay and pay and pay and pay and pay
[Chorus]
Mental hopscotch
Why must you treat me this way?
Mental hopscotch
Ready or not, I'm going away
Mental hopscotch
Cover your eyes and count to ten
Mental hopscotch
Don't do 'em up till I say when
[Outro Chorus]
Mental hopscotch
Do me, dump me, rill me, rock me
Mental hopscotch
Roller-skating, skipping, fading
Mental hopscotch
Mental hopscotch
Mental hopscotch
