If I had counted one two three before I made you cry If I had counted four and five and made another try If we had counted six seven eight and made a brand new start If we had counted nine and ten we wouldn't be apart One two three come back to me and let bygones go by Four and five I know that I've been a foolish guy Six seven eight give me a date and I'll be as good as pie Nine and ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye [ steel - guitar ] If I had counted one two three before I walked away If I had counted four and five well I'd whispered darling stay If we had counted six seven eight and turned on all our charms If we had counted nine and ten we'd be in each other's arms One two three come back to me... One to ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye
