Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la

It's not the way you look that touched my heart
It's not the way you kiss me baby that tears me apart

Oh oh, many many, many nights I try
I sit alone at home and I cry over you
What can I do
I can't help myself 'cause baby it's you

Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la

You should hear the things that they say about you
Cheat cheat cheat
They say you're never ever ever ever ever gonna be true

Oh oh, I don't listen to a word they say
I'm gonna love you any old way
What can I do, it's true
Can't help myself 'cause baby, it's you
Sha la la la la la la la
Baby, it's you
Sha la la la la la la

Oh oh, I don't listen to a word they say
I'm gonna love you any old way
What can I do, it's true
Can't help myself 'cause baby, it's you
Sha la la la la la la la
Baby, it's you
Sha la la la la la la
Baby it's you...
