Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like howdy do
Your tin soldiers, your clowns too
They're all laughing at you
I'm laughing at you too
[Verse 2]
Like basketball
Five fouls and that was all
The games you really knew, yeah
Why couldn't I beat you?
[Verse 3]
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, ooh
How could I let you get away?
When I knew I'd need somebody soon
[Verse 4]
Like mother goose
Winds you up then turns you loose
Block ten was beatin' two
And I can't tell green from blue, no, no
[Verse 5]
Like cat and mouse
Games of chase instead of house
I get so mad at you
Like parents often do
[Verse 6]
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, ooh
(How could I let you get away?) Ooh, baby
When I knew I'd need somebody soon
[Verse 7]
Ooh baby
(How could I let you get away?)
How could I let you get away, baby?
When I knew I'd need somebody soon, yeah
[Verse 8]
Hey, baby
I didn't count my sheep, I let my woman weep, baby
(How could I let you get away?)
(When I knew I'd need somebody soon)
I knew down inside I'd need somebody soon
[Verse 9]
Like mother goose, I done let you loose
(How could I let you get away?)
And I need you, baby, yeah
(When I knew I'd need somebody soon)
Ooh-wee, I need somebody soon
Help me now, keep my feet on the ground
(How could I let you get away?)
My baby
