Four’s a Traffic Jam

Lyrics

[Intro: Herb Fame & Francine Hurd Barker] You know baby, when I first saw you I knew I had to have you That was my first mistake 'Cause you know When I finally did have you in my arms Truth is, I been thinking Now how am I gonna get out of this mess Why just last night My ole lady was checking out her wedding dress And talking about we don't do it like we used to And crying, crying till we both started crying And remembering, it's us till death do us part And when I first saw you I said "Now he's together" I closed my eyes to the truth And dived in head first But all came down on me hard When I saw my baby's eyes asking Mama where you going And me lying and saying To my girlfriends Well that's the baby who needs my loving And that's who's gonna get it [Verse 1: Herb Fame & Francine Hurd Barker] You got kids and so do I We'd both hate if we made them cry This foolish game is bound to hurt the ones we love And that's who I'm thinking of It was destined from the start When we met we knew we'd have to part It's no fun to be the guilty one like this We've got to give it up [Chorus: Herb Fame, Francine Hurd Barker & Both] Because three's a crowd, four's a traffic jam I'm backing up 'cause I'm happy where I am, yeah Three's a crowd, four's a traffic jam I hit the breaks to save a little lamb, oh [Verse 2: Herb Fame & Francine Hurd Barker] Crossin' town, watered down So much confusion in that big old lie Our story ends without kissing fair de well And a promise not to tell [Chorus: Herb Fame, Francine Hurd Barker & Both] Because, three's a crowd, four's a traffic jam I'm backing up cause I'm happy where I am, yeah Three's a crowd, four's a traffic jam I hit the breaks to save a little lamb Four's a traffic jam, glad you understand Now baby, darling Four's a traffic jam, glad you understand Three's a crowd (Ba ba baby) Four's a traffic jam (I'm glad you understand my sweet baby) Three's a crowd (I'll never forget) Four's a traffic jam (The very day we met) Three's a crowd Four's a traffic jam (When I, three's a crowd, finally had you in my arms) It felt so right but I knew it was wrong (My darling, darling, darling) Three's a crowd (I'm gonna miss ya) Four's a traffic jam Three's a crowd (Just keep on walking, four's a traffic jam)
