| You’re such a sweet thing
|
| You’re so fine
|
| You’re just as pretty on the inside
|
| As you are outside
|
| To think that you were mine
|
| And when some other girls start hanging around
|
| Like a fool I went and put you down
|
| I gave up quality for quantity
|
| Gave up quality for quantity
|
| And now I’m sad and blue
|
| Because I put them all together
|
| And they don’t equal just one you
|
| (Just one you, just one you)
|
| You gave me all your love
|
| With a gentle touch (With a gentle touch)
|
| How could I have given up one girl
|
| For five times as many
|
| And still not have as much?
|
| They say that a bird in the hand
|
| Is worth ten in the bush
|
| And since I gave you up for them
|
| You don’t know how I wish
|
| I hadn’t gave up quality for quantity
|
| Gave up quality for quantity
|
| And now I’m sad and blue
|
| Because I put them all together
|
| And they don’t equal just one you
|
| (Just one you, just one you)
|
| Little old you
|
| Oh, baby, now, you’ve got a certain quality
|
| That only diamonds possess
|
| The rest are like costume jewelry
|
| You’re the best (You're the best)
|
| Baby, I confess (I confess)
|
| I never should have gave up quality for quantity
|
| Gave up quality for quantity
|
| And now I’m sad and blue
|
| Because I put them all together
|
| And they don’t equal just one you
|
| (Just one you, just one you)
|
| Whoa, I shouldn’t have gave
|
| Gave up quality for quantity
|
| Tell me why did I give up quality for quantity
|
| I never should have gave up |
