Lyrics

[Chorus]
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
Please say that boy is me
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
I'm the one who wants to be your baby
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
[Verse 1]
I get up early to seein' you in the morning
But you just pass me by
If I were Jack Horner, sitting in the corner
With you, I'd share my pie
I pass your homeroom, wish it were my own room
Every time I look inside
I sit here hoping, someday you'll notice
The look here in my eyes, oh
[Chorus]
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
Please be my pride and joy
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
I wanna be your lover boy
[Bridge]
I may be a little fella, but my heart as big as Texas
I have all the love a man can give
And maybe a little bit extra
Ooh, oh, be my girl
Oh, be my girl
[Bridge]
The best time of day for me is at recess
That's when you talk to me
I think I'm the boy you like the best
I want more than a friend, to be
Ooh, he wanna be your fella, just tryin' to tell ya
But you pay him no mind
He's no Prince Charmer, still he keeps tryin', girl, you're so unkind
[Verse 2]
I can love you, really, really love you
I can tell at just a glance
I can please you, really, really please you
Girl, give me half a chance
[Chorus]
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, baby, say it's me
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
Ooh
Don't you know I wanna be your baby? Yeah
[Bridge]
Baby, your baby, baby, baby, baby
Ooh, he wanna be your fella, just to tryin' to tell ya
But you pay him no mind
He's no Prince Charmer, still he keeps tryin', girl, you're so unkind
[Chorus]
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
Ooh, ooh, baby, yeah, yeah
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
Ooh, please be my girl
Hey
[Verse 3]
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
Won't you be my girl? Yeah, yeah
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate?
Ooh, ooh
Hey
