Oh, well I met a little girl about a week ago
And I felt that I oughta let her know
Since then my heart has broke the string
It goes ding-dong, ding-dong, da-ding-dong, ding-dong-ding

My heart goes ding-dong-ding when I'm near you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I want you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I need you
It goes ding-dong <2> ding-dong <4>

Well, you know I love you, love you. little girl
And if you'll only kiss me it will give me the world
All around my heart where the feeling is
Because ding-dong, ding-dong, da-ding-dong, ding-dong-ding

My heart goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I want you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I need you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I want you
It goes ding-dong <2> ding-dong <4>

{instrumental break}

Now, don't be afraid of me, little girl
'cause I love you more than the whole wide world
You know I wouldn't harm a pretty, beautiful thing
Because-a-ding-dong, ding-dong, da-ding-dong, ding-dong-ding

My heart goes ding-dong-ding when I'm near you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I want you
It goes ding-dong-ding 'cause I need you
It goes ding-dong <2>(SPOKEN: "Try it again") ding-dong <4>

(SPOKEN: "one more time")<<<<
ding-dong, ding-dong, da-ding-dong, ding-dong-ding
(SPOKEN: Hey!)
