Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I had you to myself I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd
When 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
[Verse 2]
Oh baby give me one more chance (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 (Let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
Yes I do now (I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby (I want you back)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (I want you back)
Na na na na
[Verse 3]
You went to school to learn girl
Things you never never knew before
I before E except after C
And why two plus two makes four
Now now now I'm gonna teach you all about love yeah
Sit yourself down take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me
[Verse 4]
ABC easy as one two three
Ah simple as do, re, mi, ABC, one two three, baby you and me
[Verse 5]
Sit down girl, I think I love you
Nah get up girl, show me what you can do
[Verse 6]
ABC baby, one two three baby, do re mi baby
That's how easy love can be
[Verse 7]
Stop you better save me
Stop stop stop you better save me
When we played tag in grade school you wanted to be it
But chasing boys was just a fad you crossed your heart you'd quit
When we grew up you traded you promised for my ring
Now just like back in grade school you're doing that same old thing
[Verse 8]
Stop the love you save may be your own
Darlin' take it slow or someday you'll be all alone
Better stop the love you save may be your own
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
Headed for a danger zone
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
[Verse 9]
S is for save me
T is for take it slow
O is for oh no
P is for please please don't go
[Verse 10]
(The love you save may be your own)
Someday you may be all alone
Save me girl
[Verse 11]
Stop
