Oh, baby, you couldn't have done a worse thing to me
If you'd taken an arrow and run it right through me, oh
Oh, baby, a bird in the hand is worth two flyin'
But when it came to love, I'd knew you'd be lyin'

It could have been a finer thing
Would have been a major attraction
With no other thing offering a note of distraction
Come on, get up, get under way, bring your love

Oh, baby, you wouldn't have found a motown hero
If you'da started at nothing and counted to zero

Oh, baby, you couldn't have done a worse thing to me
If you'd taken an arrow and run it right through me

It could have been a finer thing
Flying in a righter direction
With no other thing featuring my love and affection
Come on, get up, get under way and bring your love

Oh, baby, you wouldn't have found a motown hero
If you'd started at nothing and counted the zero
