Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wait, wait for the moment to come
Stand up, stand up and take my hand
Believe, believe in mystery
Love, love is simple as 1-2-3
[Verse 2]
I'm a know-it-all, I'm the smartest man around
That's right, you learn real fast, you the smartest girl in town, so
Here come a riddle, here come a clue
If you are really smart, you'll know what to do when I say
[Verse 3]
Jump back, sit back, get back, relax, it's okay
I called in sick, I won't go to work today
I'd rather be with the one I love
I neglect my duties, I'll be in trouble, but
[Verse 4]
I been to college, I been to school
I'm not the people that you read about in books
Here come a riddle, here come a clue
If you are really smart, you'll know what to do (When I say)
Jet pilot gone out of control, ship captain run aground
Stockbroker make a bad investment when love has come to town
[Verse 5]
Where, where is my common sense?
How did I get in a jam like this?
Believe, I believe in mystery
Love, love, love, love is simple as 1-2-3
Here come a riddle, here come a clue
If you are really smart, you'll know what to do (When I say)
Why am I going out of my head whenever you're around?
The answer is obvious, love has come to town
