[Verse 1]
If it was supposed to be so right
I'd be sitting on your bed like I did last night
If it was supposed to be so real
I'd be drunk in the way that the night makes you feel
[Chorus]
If it was supposed to be so right

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
If it was supposed to be so right

Now won't you count me in? Mm
Now won't you count me in?
[Bridge]
It's seven o'clock and it's just about to get too dark
And you're still playing in the park
You're just sitting there in the shade, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
If it was supposed to be so real
Oh, won't you count, count me in?
If it was supposed to be so right
Oh, won't you count, count me in?
