Lyrics
Wait, wait for the moment to come
Stand up, stand up and take my hand
Believe, believe in mystery
Love, love is simple as 1-2-3
I'm a know-it-all, I'm the smartest man around
That's right
You learn real fast you're the smartest girl in town
So, here come a riddle
Here come a clue
If you were really smart
You'd know what to do when I say
Jump back, sit back, get back, relax, it's okay
I've called in sick, I won't go to work today
I'd rather be with the one I love
I neglect my duties
I'll be in trouble, but
I've been to college
I've been to school
I've met the people that you read about in books
Here come a riddle
Here come a clue
If you were really smart
You'd know what to do when I say
Jet pilot gone out of control
Ship captain on the ground
Stockbroker make a bad investment
When love has come to town
Where, where is my common sense?
How did I get in a jam like this?
Believe, I believe in mystery
Love, love, love, love is simple as 1-2-3
Here come a riddle
Here come a clue
If you were really smart
You'd know what to do when I say
Why am I going out of my head
Whenever you're around?
The answer is obvious
Love has come to town
Oh, oh, oh, oh
