1-2-3 Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
They tell me you're shy boy
But I want you just the same
Don't play innocent with me
You know it's not just fun and games
[Hook:]
When I look into your eyes
So much passion burns inside
But if you need some coaxing
I will do it
Step by step
There's nothing to it
[Chorus:]
1-2-3-4
Come on, baby
Say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11
I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine
[Verse 2:]
Come out of your shell, boy
You know we go like hand in glove
You're afraid of giving in
But I am never giving up on your love
They tell me you're shy boy
But I want you just the same
Don't play innocent with me
You know it's not just fun and games
[Hook:]
When I look into your eyes
So much passion burns inside
But if you need some coaxing
I will do it
Step by step
There's nothing to it
[Chorus:]
1-2-3-4
Come on, baby
Say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11
I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine
[Verse 2:]
Come out of your shell, boy
You know we go like hand in glove
You're afraid of giving in
But I am never giving up on your love
[Hook:]
And no matter what it takes
I will steal your heart away
Take a chance for once
You won't regret it
Want my love
Just come and get it
[Chorus:]
1-2-3-4
Come on, baby
Say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11
I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge:]
So no matter what it takes
I will steal your heart away
Take a chance for once
You won't regret it
Take my love
Just come and get it
And no matter what it takes
I will steal your heart away
Take a chance for once
You won't regret it
Want my love
Just come and get it
[Chorus:]
1-2-3-4
Come on, baby
Say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11
I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge:]
So no matter what it takes
I will steal your heart away
Take a chance for once
You won't regret it
Take my love
Just come and get it

Come on, baby
Say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11
I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine
1-2-3-4
Come on, baby
5-6-7 times
You got to give me your love

I'm just gonna keep on counting, baby
Until you are mine
