Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nine times out of ten, baby, I've told you
And I ain't gonna tell you just nine times again
Ah, just how much I aim to hold you
Again and again and again
[Verse 2]
Little girl, it's nine times out of ten
You've refused me and then say that
You refuse me nine times again
But I won't stop until you choose me
Again and again and again
[Verse 3]
Well, don't try to fight it 'cause it's no use
You're gonna find out that
I'm stubborn as a doggone mule
[Verse 4]
Nine times out of ten, I've tried to kiss you
And I ain't trying just nine times again
Well, if I missed the nine time that I've tried, baby
I'll bet my life, I'll get you on number ten
[Verse 5]
Well, don't try to fight it
Come, baby, it ain't no use
You're gonna find out
I'm stubborn as a doggone mule
[Verse 6]
Nine times out of ten, I've tried to kiss you
And I ain't trying just nine times again
Well, if I missed the nine times that I've tried, baby
I'll bet my life, I'll get you on number ten
I'll bet my life, I'll get you on number ten
