Once I had a love (groovy baby)
She was my only love (groovy baby)
But now she's gone and I'm so blue
(Groovy baby)

She was seventeen (groovy baby)
She was my teenage queen (groovy baby)
Why did she go away and
Leave me blue (leave me blue)

Somewhere in this world
There's a guy making love to my girl
Wonder does he know she was
Mine not so long ago

Once I had a love (groovy baby)
She was my only love (groovy baby)
I'll take her back again if
She'll be true (she'll be true)
(Groovy baby)

Once I had a love (groovy baby)
Once I had a love
