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

It’s not the way you smile
That touched my heart.
Sha la la la la
It’s not the way you kiss
That tears my apart.

Uh-oh, many many, many nights go by,
I sit alone at home and I cry over you
What can I do?
Can’t help myself
Cause baby it’s you,
Sha la la la la la la
Baby it’s you,
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la

You should hear what they say about you:
“Cheat! Cheat!” Sha la la la la.
They say, they say you never never ever been true
“Cheat! Cheat!”

Uh-oh, it doesn’t matter what they say,
I know I’m gonna love you any old way,
What can I do then it’s true.
Don’t want nobody, nobody,
Cause baby it’s you,
Sha la la la la la la
Baby it’s you,
Sha la la la la la la

Uh-oh, it doesn’t matter what they say,
I know I’m gonna love you any old way,
What can I do?
And it’s true.
Don’t want nobody, nobody,
Cause baby it’s you,
Sha la la la la la la
Baby it’s you,
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la
