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 youIn the middle of the room
Got no time to count my sheep todayHow could I let you get away
When I knew, I'd need somebody soon
How could I let you get away
When I knew I'd need somebody soonLike mother goose, winds you up then turns you loose
Block 10 was beatin' too 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 doIn the middle of the room
Got no time to count my sheep today, babyHow could I let you get away
When I knew I'd need somebody soon
How could I let you get away
Baby, when I knew I'd need somebody soonOoh 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 soonLike 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
