[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm a know-it-all
I'm smartest man around
That's right, you learn real fast

I've called in sick
I won't go to work today

I neglect my duties
I'll be in trouble, but

Believe, I believe in mystery
Love, love, love, love is simple as 1-2-3
[Chorus]
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
