However, they are best known for their song "Disco Inferno" which was included on the Grammy-winning, Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

Tell me what's wrong with you now , tell me why I

Never seem to make you happy, though heaven knows I try.

What does it take to please you? Tell me just how

I can satisfy you woman? You're drivin' me wild.

 

Break up to make up, that's all we do.

First you love me then you hate me,

That's a game for fools.

,Break up to make up that's all we do.

First you love me then you hate me,

That's a game for fools.

 

When I come home from workin', you're on the phone,

Talkin' 'bout how bad I treat ya, now tell me I'm wrong.

You say it's me who argues, I'll say it's you,

We have got to get together or, baby, we're through.

 

Break up to make up, that's all we do.

First you love me then you hate me,

That's a game for fools.

Break up to make up, that's all we do.

Yeah, first you love me then you hate me,

That's a game for fools.

 

Break up to make up, that's all we do.

Yeah, first you love me then you hate me,

That's a game for fools.

 

Break up to make up, that's all we do.

First you love me then you hate me,

That's a game.
