        You're happy, you're laughin'

        Oh what about me, oh what about me

        You're lovin' with someone
        But baby, baby, baby, woh-oh

        What about me, oh what about me
        What about me, mmmm.. what about me

        They'll be ..... what to do
        since you told me we will .....
        You've got someone to dream with
        and ..... with and love with
        But baby, oh baby
        Baby, woh-oh
