Lyrics:
“The Sha La La Song”
I’ll get over you
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Just one more lonely night or two
Do you remember, well I remember
Every kiss, bittersweet and tender
Every promise, every vow
Every time you said forever baby, even now
Even though you left me, for another
I’m a big boy, I will recover and
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
I’ll get over you
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Just one more lonely night or two
Ain’t it funny, I think it’s funny
I’m gonna laugh until I don’t cry honey, ’cause
Shedding tears just ain’t my style
But I guess I oughtta miss her for a little while
A little blue-eyed blonde in a red hot sweater
Wants to spice my chili, I think I’m gonna let her
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
I’ll get over you
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Just one more lonely night or two
So when you get lonely
I dare you to call me
Oh don’t call me baby
‘Cause sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
I’ll get over you
Sha la la la la la la la la la
The sun don’t rise and set in you
Oh no
