"1-2-3" is a song by British dance music trio the Chimes, written by group members Pauline Henry, Mike Peden, and James Locke. Their debut single, "1-2-3" reached number one on the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart for two weeks and was their only Billboard Hot 100 hit, peaking at number 82. Although the song stalled at number 60 in the band's native United Kingdom, it found chart success in New Zealand, where it peaked at number four. In 1990, the song was included on their only album, The Chimes.

Uh baby
You know just what I'm thinking of
And you, baby
You can be my deepest love
So won't you tell me
Who am I thinking about
Who am I showing all my love to
Who am I sharing my life with
Tell me what I need to know

Chorus:
1-2-3
This love was meant to be
4-5-6
Baby, this is it
You and me
Sharing love so easily
In my heart I know it's real

Uh baby
You know exactly I'm dreaming of
With you, oh yeah
There could never be a doubt
So, won't you tell me

Repeat Chorus

You baby
I could not resist your touch
For you
There could never be no doubt
So,tell me
Who am I thinking about
Who am I showing all my love to
Who am I sharing my life with
Tell me what I need to know

Repeat Chorus

You and me
Sharing love too easily
In my heart I know it's real
1-2-3
4-5-6
