HIS LIPS GET IN THE WAY
The Shirelles


Everybody tells me I'm 
A fool & I'm just wastin' time 
To love someone who's not in love with me 
Friends all say that I'm a dope 
To stay in love when there's no hope 
But I'm a dope who loves him hopelessly 

CHORUS: 
What can I do? Hey, what can I say? 
Each time I try to say goodbye 
His lips get in the way 
Oh yeah, his lips get in the way 

He says my love don't mean a thing 
But still he keeps me on a string 
I'm just someone he likes to have around 
I say I want no more of this 
But then he stops me with a kiss 
I can't resist him though he puts me down 

(chorus) 

Everybody calls me fool 
They say "Hey girl, go back to school & learn the things that every girl should know" 
But I guess I've got no brains 
Because my foolish heart remains 
I just can't break the chains & let him go, no no 

(chorus) 

(repeat title & fade)
