Lyrics:

by Jeff Barry & Andy Kim
I once went with a belly dancer,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
Once around I didn't stand a chance
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
But, I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
Then I went with a gospel singer,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
She tried to wrap me around her finger, now,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
But, I say I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
I, I, I,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
I, I, I,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
I once went with a history teacher,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
I really tried but I couldn't reach her,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
Whoa, I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
SOLO
Well, let me tell you now, I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
I, I, I,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
I, I, I,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
There were some that I can't remember,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
I think I went with Miss November,
(Lum, doo-dee, ahh-dee, day)
But, I say I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better,
I, I, I love you better.
fade out...
