Like howdy doo
your tin soldiers, your clowns too
they're all laughing at you
i'm laughing at you too
Like basketball
5 fouls and that was all
the games you really knew, yeah
why couldn't i beat you
In the middle of the room
got no time to count my sheep today
how could i let you get away
when i knew i'd need somebody soon (hoo...hoo...)
how could i let you get away
when i knew i'd need somebody soon
Like mother goose
winds you up then turns you loose
block 10 was beatin' 2
and i can't tell green from blue, no, no
Like cat and mouse
games of chase instead of house
i get so mad at you
like parents often do
In the middle of the room
got no time to count my sheep today (baby)
how could i let you get away
when i knew i'd need somebody soon (hoo...hoo...)
how could i let you get away (baby)
when i knew i'd need somebody soon
Ooh...baby
how could i let you get away, baby
when i knew i'd need somebody soon, yeah
hey, baby
i didn't count my sheep, i let my woman weep, baby
i knew down inside i'd need somebody soon
like mother goose i done let you loose
and need you, baby, yeah
ooh-wee, i need somebody soon
help me now, keep my feet on the ground
my baby
