Then I'll Count Again - Johnny Tillotson

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
