I've always had the upper hand where our love was concerned   But now you've upped and left me and I think it's time you learn   If you're not back here in my arms by the time I'll count to ten   Well I'll wait just a little while then I'll count again      When you were mine I had you like a puppet on a string   So now you'd better listen cause I'll tell you one more thing   If you're lips aren't next to mine by the time I'll count to ten   Well I'll wait just a little while then I'll count again       I'll count the lonely hours and days that I was blind   I'll count the things I'll do to make you change your mind   I'll give you love and kindness and I'll buy you presents too   I'll try so hard to always make you happy when you're blue   So if you're not back here in my arms by the time I'll count to ten   Well I'll wait just a little while then I'll count again   Yes I'll wait just a little while then I'll count again
