[Intro]
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 1]
I saw you there
I stopped and stared
The curly girlie smiled
You really were
Too close to her
And people just went by
[Verse 2]
I saw your face
And her embrace
Your whisper in her ear
I know the score
Cause I've heard it before
I read your lips with fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Your words were clear, you said:
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's say forever, let's say it's true
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's come together, me and you
La-la-la-la-la-la
Your new cuckoo
[Interlude]
I read your lips with fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Your words were clear, you said:
[Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's say forever, let's say it's true
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's come together, me and you
La-la-la-la-la-la
Your new cuckoo
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's say forever, let's say it's true
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's come together, me and you
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's say forever, let's say it's true
La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's come together, me and you
[Outro]
And me, and you
Your new cuckoo
Your new cu-cu-cuckoo
