One, two, three, four Hey baby come round Keep holding me down And I'll be keeping you up tonight. The four letter word got stuck in my head The dirtiest word that I've ever said It's making me feel alright. For what it's worth I love you And what is worse I really do Oh what is worse I'm gonna run run run 'Till the sweetness gets to you And what is worse I love you! Hey please baby come back There'll be no more loving attack And I'll be keeping it cool tonight. The four letter word is out of my head Come on around get back in my bed Keep making me feel alright. For what it's worth I like you And what is worse I really do Things have been worse And we had fun fun fun 'Till I said I love you And what is worse I really do! For what it's worth I love you And what is worse I really do. Oh For what it's worth I love you And what is worse I really do. Oh For what it's worth I love you And what is worse I really do.
