I Gave Up Quality For Quantity (Cellarful Of Motown Version)

Ooh, yeah
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 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

You gave me all your love
With a gentle touch (with a gentle touch)
How could I have given up one girl
For five times as many
And still not have as much?

They say a bird in the hand
Is worth ten in the 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

Oh baby now, you got a certain quality
That only diamonds possess
The rest are like costume jewellery
You're the best
You're the best
Baby I confess, I confess

I never should have
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

Gave up quality for quantity
Gave up quality for quantity
I never should have
