1, 2, 3, Four-Ever Friends
So I guess you're mad that I'm angry with you.
And I guess you're mad that I sent you to your room.
Well, here's a little counting song, one that you can count upon.
And if you listen, you will feel better soon.
Chorus:
I've got one heart that loves you.
I've got two arms that reach for you.
I've got three wishes that you love me too.
I've got four-ever love for you.
You know it's true.
I wasn't pleased, when you didn't eat your vegetables.
I was not pleased, when you spilled ice cream on the couch.
First I screamed at you, then you screamed at me,
And then we sat down and laughed and said,
"Boy are you ever a grouch!"
Chorus
Comb your hair, brush your teeth, and mind your manners!
Pick up your toys and please hold down the noise!
All these things your must know. Count the ways we love and grow.
And when you learn them, you'll be happy girls and boys!
Last Chorus:
I've got one heart that loves you. I've got two arms that reach for you.
I've got three wishes that you love me too. I've got four-ever love for you.

You know it's true. Yes I do. Owooooooooh!
