Nine times out of ten, baby, Ive told you

And I aint gonna tell you just nine times again

Aah, just how much I aim to hold you

Again and again and again



Little girl, its nine times out of ten, you've refused me

And then say that you refuse me nine times again

But I wont stop until you choose me

Again and again and again



(Well,) dont try to fight it

Cause its no use

Youre gonna find that

Im stubborn as a doggone mule



Nine times out of ten Ive tried to kiss you

And I aint trying just nine times again

Well, if I missed the nine times that Ive tried, baby

Ill bet my life, Ill get you on number ten



(instr break)



Well, dont try to fight it

Come, baby, it ain't no use

Youre gonna find that

Im stubborn as a doggone mule



Nine times out of ten Ive tried to kiss you

And I aint trying just nine times again

Well, if I missed the nine times that Ive tried, baby

Ill bet my life, Ill get you on number ten
