One Bad Apple
I can tell you've been hurt
by that look on your face, girl.
Some guy brought a
sad end to your happy world.
You need love, but you're
afraid that if you give in,
someone else will come along
and sock it to ya again.
One bad apple don't
spoil the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, give it one more
try before you give up on love.
One bad apple don't
spoil the whole bunch girl.
Oh, I don't care what they say,
I don't care what you heard.
I could make you happy,
baby,
satisfy you, too.
But how can I if you
won't give me a chance
to prove my love to you?
Won't you just give me
one little chance?
I'll give you a love
guarantee
that you won't be hurt again.
One bad apple don't
spoil
the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, give it one more try
before you give up on love.
One bad apple don't spoil
the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, I don't care what they say,
I don't care what you heard now.
I've been noticing you, baby,
for a long, long time.
And I'm not ashamed to
tell the world
that you
really messed up my mind.
Girl, to me you're
like a dream come true.
I'd rather hurt myself
than to ever hurt you.
One bad apple don't spoil
the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, give it one more try
before you give up on love, girl.
One bad apple
don't spoil
the whole bunch, girl.
Oh, I don't care what they say,
I don't care what you heard now.
One bad apple don't spoil
the whole bunch, girl.
