Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da

Do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da

Do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da

Do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da

[Verse 2]

Hold on to love, that is what I do

Now that I've found you

And from above, everything's stinking

They're not around you

[Verse 3]

And in the night, I could be helpless

I could be lonely, sleeping without you

And in the day, everything's complex

There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you

[Verse 4]

But I miss you, when you're gone

That is what I do, ba-, ba-, -by

And it's going to carry on

That is what I knew, ba-, ba-, -by

[Verse 5]

Do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da

[Verse 6]

Hold on to my hands

I feel I'm sinking, sinking without you

And to my mind, everything's stinking

Stinking without you

[Verse 7]

And in the night, I could be helpless

I could be lonely, sleeping without you

And in the day, everything's complex

There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you

[Verse 8]

And I miss you when you're gone

That is what I do, ba-, ba-, -by

And it's going to carry on

That is what I knew, ba-, ba-, -by

[Verse 9]

Do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da

Ba-, ba-, -by

Do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da, do-be-da

Ba-, ba-, -by
