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
