You're such a sweet thing, you're so fine
You're just as pretty on the inside as you are outside
To think that you were mine
And when some other girls start hanging around
Like a fool I went and put you down
I gave up quantity for quantity
Gave up quality for quantity
And now I'm sad and blue
Because I put them all together and they don't equal just one you
Just one you, just one you
You gave me all your love
With a gentle touch
How could I have given up one girl for five dollars many
And still not have as much
They say a bird in a hand is worth ten in a bush
And since I gave you up for them you don't know how I wish I hadn't
Gave up quality for quantity
Gave up quality for quantity
And now I'm sad and blue
Because I put them all together and they don't equal just one you
Just one you, just one you
Well baby now you've got a certain quality
That only diamonds possess
The rest are like costume jewelry
You're the best
You're the best
Baby I confess
I never should have given up
Baby I confess
I never should have given up
Quality for quality
Gave up quality for quantity
And now I'm sad and blue
Because I put them all together and they don't equal just one you
Just one you, just one you
Gave up quality for quality
I gave up quality for quantity
