[Verse 1]
Ooh baby, you couldn't have done
A worse thing to me
If you'd have taken an arrow
And run it right through me, ooh

[Verse 2]
Ooh baby, a bird in the hand
Is worth two flying
But when it came to love
I knew you'd be lying

[Bridge]
It could have been a finer fling
Would have been a major attraction
With no other thing
Offering a note of distraction
Come on, get up, get under way
And bring your love

[Verse 3]
Ooh baby, you wouldn't have found
A more down hero
If you'd have started at nothing
And counted to zero

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Ooh baby, you couldn't have done
A worse thing to me
If you'd have taken an arrow
And run it right through me

[Bridge]
It could have been a finer fling
Flying in a righter direction
With no other thing
Featuring but love and affection
Come on, get up, get under way
And bring your love

[Verse 3]
Ooh baby, you wouldn't have found
A more down hero
If you'd have started at nothing
And counted to zero

Paul McCartney and Wings, also known simply as Wings, were an Anglo-American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney with his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine. Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes as well as commercial success, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group’s existence until 1981.
