One two buckle her shoe
tell her she must follow you
three four tell her that you're
the one that she's been waiting for

Five six tell her you fix
ailing hearts with magic tricks
seven eight tell her it's fate
that she landed on your plate

Nine ten don't say it again
or you'll find the day arriving when
you wait ans wait outside her door
but baby don't wanna play no more

On two buckle her shoe
say she can live her life with you
three four never quiet sure
if she's worth a little bit more

Five six invent new tricks
you can add to your secret mix
step back let her drink her fill
seven and eight and counting still

Nine ten don't say it again
or you'll find the day arriving when
you wait ans wait outside her door
but baby don't wanna play no more

She's biding her time and counting the days
till she escapes his scheming ways
then free of him and buckled shoes
she'll heal her heart with a barefoot blues
and leave him wondering why
She's biding her time and counting the days
till she escapes his scheming ways
then free of him and buckled shoes
she'll heal her heart with a barefoot blues
and leave him wondering why
