[Intro]
Shoop-shoo-doo, shoop-shoo-be-doo
Shoop-shoo-doo, shoop-shoo-be-doo
Doo-doo-ow!
Shoop-shoo-doo, shoop-shoo-be-doo
Shoop-shoo-doo, shoop-shoo-be-doo
[Verse 1]
When I see lovers kissing on TV (Ooo wee)
This is when I need you with me (Ah-ha-ha)
And when I see lovers walking through the park (Ooo wee)
Thump-thump goes the beat of my heart
[Chorus]
This is when (This is when I need you most)
This is when (This is when I need you most)
So lover
Come back to me
[Verse 2]
When I hear a song with a sweet melody (Ooo wee)
This is when I wish you were holding me (Ah-ha-ha)
When my best friend gets candy very sweet, I say (Ooo wee)
I'm so sorry that I sent you away
[Chorus]
This is when (This is when I need you most)
This is when, yeah (This is when I need you most)
So lover
Come back to me
[Break]
I didn't mean it, no!
I didn't mean it, no!
I didn't mean it
[Verse 3]
Since you've been gone, loneliness is hard to bear (Ooo wee)
The memory of your love is everywhere (Ah-ha-ha)
And when my conscience starts bothering me (Ooo wee)
I realise you're the only boy for me
[Chorus]
This is when (This is when I need you most)
This is when, yeah (This is when I need you most)
So lover
Come back to me
[Outro]
I didn't mean it, no!
I didn't mean it, no!
I didn't mean it, no!
Come on back (I didn't mean it, no!)
I love you (I didn't mean it, no!)
I didn't mean it (I didn't mean it, no!)
I need you (I didn't mean it, no!)
I love you (I didn't mean it, no!)
I didn't mean it (I didn't mean it, no!)
Come on back, lover (I didn't mean it, no!)
I didn't mean it (I didn't mean it, no!)
I love you (I didn't mean it, no!)
I didn't mean it (I didn't mean it, no!)
Come on, baby (I didn't mean it, no!)
