Number Three

You say you’re head over heels in love with me
I think that’s so-o-o-o-o nice.
Other ears have heard your words before – and it wasn’t
Just once or twice.

Now Little Darlin, I hear coldness in your laughter
I’d say you plannin to leave me hangin soon hereafter
You ask me how I’m sure of my story
It comes on good authority
Let’s say I know because I spoke with Number Three.

There’s been three good men – sadder and wiser
Who came before me
And every step they took with you brought them to ruin
And though your charms are cranked up past ten
They can’t hide what you are doin
I know better because I spoke with Number Three

They say that history repeats itself
When we don’t look to see
The lessons from what’s passed
Might prevent a tragedy

You say you love me – that would be nice if it were true
Just ask the others if they had known then
What they would do
I know you’ll never break my heart
This I say with certainty
I’m onto you and your game is all through
Because I spoke with Three
Number One spoke with Two, Two spoke with Three
And then Three spoke with me.

Hey, it’s one and it’s two and it’s three strikes you’re out
Yeah I know because I spoke with Number Three
