Story Behind The Song
This is one of those complex relationships that everyone has either had, or knows someone who did. The guy can't understand why Angeline won't love him and only him. Meanwhile she uses him to gain her own ends until she finally discards him after she has used him and the relationship up, and decides to move on.
Song Description
This song is one of a culture of songs written about a love/hate relationship where the woman is very aggresive in her pursuit of the "center of attention" syndrome. She wants what she wants and to hell with the rest of it. Problem is, the male is drawn to her for certain reasons and does not want the relationship to end. Result? He wants her, but she uses him for her own ends, over and over until he decides maybe this is not in his best interests, but he still hopes she will learn to love him.

Lyrics
1. I give... you take... you don't care if my heart breaks,
Lovin' you just makes me wanna cry...
2. I'm wrong... your right... one more lost and lonely night,
every time you play me for the fool...
C Angeline, Angeline, why can't you be true to me?
Angeline, Angeline, how much more can my heart bleed...for you...oh oh Angeline...
3. I lose...you win...you won't get me back again,
I believe it's time I walk away...
4. Your in...I'm out...that's what your love's all about,
can't you even leave me with my pride...
chrs 2 times.
