One Bad Apple

(Yeah)

I can tell you've been hurt by that look on your face, girl

Some guy brought a sad day to your happy world

You need love, but you're afraid that if you give in

You're gonna give your heart and get it back all in pieces again

[Chorus]

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl

Ah, give it one more try before you give up on love

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl

Ah, I don't care what they say, I don't care what you've heard

I could make you happy, babe, and satisfy you, too

(Satisfy you now)

How can I, you won't give me a chance to prove my love to you?

Won't you just give me one little chance?

(One more chance now)

And I can guarantee you won't be hurt again

[Chorus]

You see, the apple you had was rotten to the core

And for a girl like you, there's always plenty more 

So let me give you a taste of what you're scared of

And together we can share the fruits of love

I've been noticing you, babe, for a long, long time

(Long, long time now)

I'm not ashamed to tell the world that you really messed up my mind

I can't believe you're so fine, you're a real-life dream come true

(Dream come true now)

And I would hurt myself long before I would ever think of hurting you

[Chorus]
