Sit there
Hm-mm, count your fingers
What else, what else is there to do?
Ooh, honey, I know how you feel
I know you feel that you're through
Ooh, wah-wah, sit there, hmm, count
Oh, count your little fingers
My unhappy, oh, little girl, little girl blue, yeah
Ooh-ooh, sit there, oh, count those raindrops
Oh, feel 'em falling down, ooh, honey all around you
Honey, don't you know it's time?
I feel it's time somebody told you, 'cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
It's gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they're falling down
Honey, all around you
Ooh, I know you're unhappy
Ooh, sit there
Oh, go on, go on and count your fingers
I don't know what else, what else, honey, have you got to do
And I know how you feel
And I know you ain't got no reason to go on
And I know you feel that you must be through
Oh, honey, go on and sit right back down
I want you to count, ooh, count your fingers
Ah, my unhappy, my unlucky
And my little, oh, girl blue
I know you're unhappy
Ooh-ooh, honey, I know
Baby, I know just how you feel
