Gloria Estefan
123
Gloria Estefan 123 is the title of a popular song by Gloria Estefan and her former band, Miami Sound Machine. It was written by Estefan and former band member Enrique "Kiki" Garcia and appears on the album, Let It Loose.
Released as the fifth and final single from their multi-platinum album Let It Loose in the summer of 1988, "1-2-3" peaked at no.3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the band's seventh Top 10 hit.In addition, the song became their fourth no.1 hit on the Billboard adult contemporary chart. On the Billboard R&B chart, "1-2-3" peaked at number 54. The single was essentially the same as the album version of the song, only it was slightly remixed to add more horns to the music. By the time "1-2-3" was released a single in 1988, the song's co-writer Kiki Garcia had acrimoniously departed Miami Sound Machine. Garcia was quoted describing the situation in the band: "There is no Miami Sound Machine. There is Gloria Estefan and Emilio telling a bunch of hired musicians what to do. The lyrics of "1-2-3" detail the singer's desire to have a shy suitor approach her.
Gloria Estefan 123 Lyrics
They tell me you're shy boy
But I want you just the same
Don't play innocent with me
You know it's not just fun and games
When I look into your eyes
So much passion burns inside
But if you need some coaxing
I will do it step by step there's nothing to it
1-2-3-4 come on baby say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine
Come out of your shell boy
You know we go like hand in glove
You're afraid of giving in
But I am never giving up on your love
And no matter what it takes
I will steal your heart away
Take a chance for once you won't regret it
Want my love just come and get it
1-2-3-4 come on baby say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine
So no matter what it takes
I will steal your heart away
Take a chance for once you won't regret it
Take my love just come and get it
1-2-3-4 come on baby say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine
1-2-3-4 come on baby
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting baby
Until you are mine
1-2-3-4
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11
1-2-3-4
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11
