The number game is fun to play,
It's such a delightful way to say,
"Darling, I'm in love with you!".
For instance;

One for the wonder of your kisses,
Two for the two lips I adore.
Three is a crowd when we want to be alone,
Four, I'm so fortunate to have you on my own.

Five, you're a five alarmer charmer,
Six, seven and eight, nine and ten.
It's fun to count like this
When each number brings a kiss,
So let's go back and start all over again!

One for the wonder of your kisses,
Two for the two lips I adore.
Three is a crowd when we want to be alone,
Four, I'm so fortunate to have you on my own.

Five, you're a five alarmer charmer,
Six, seven and eight, nine and ten.
It's fun to count like this
When each number brings a kiss,
So let's go back and start all over again!

One for the wonder of your kisses,
Two for the two lips I adore.
Three is a crowd when we want to be alone,
Four, I'm so fortunate to have you on my own.

Five, you're a five alarmer charmer,
I could count like this my whole life through!
The number game is fun to play,
It's such a delightful way to say,
"Darling, I'm in love,
Oh so much in love,
Darling, I'm in love with you!".
