When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me
To take a second look
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart?
Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
To let you go, baby
But now, since I see you
I want you back
Yes, I do now
I want you back
Ooh, ooh, baby
A-B-C
Everybody clap your hands, come on, ooh!
One, two, three
Do-Re-Mi
A-B-C
That's how easy love can be
You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before
Like I before E except after C
Or why two plus two makes four
I'm gonna teach you
All about love, yeah!
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me
A-B-C
Easy as one, two, three
Or simple as Do-Re-Mi
A-B-C
That's how easy love can be
Stop
You'd better save it
Stop, stop, stop
You'd better save it
Woo!
When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be it
But chasin' boys was just a fad
You crossed your heart you'd quit
When we grew up, you traded
Your promise for my ring
Now, just like back in grade school
You're doin' the same old thing
Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darlin', take it slow
Or someday you'll be all alone
Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darlin', look both ways before you cross me
You're headin' for a danger zone
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
S is for save it
T is for take it slow
O is for oh, no
P is for please, please don't go
The love you save may be your own
Someday you may be all alone
Save it, girl
Slow down
Slow down
Stop
Ow!
