We were kids
Girls were tough
Such a great time
To grow up
She's having such a lot fun
I wish I had
I had at the time
I'd been in love with Shangri-Las
Here comes the dream girl of your life
She's gonna eat you from the start
Before the second verse
You're gonna go-go dance
You'll be in love with Shangri-Las
You're gonna love her 'cause she's cool
Thought New York gals thinks you're a fool
She's nothing like Beyonce
singing like Mary Weiss
You are in love with Shangri-Las
I love bad girls, they do have a soul
And she's a tough one, it means a lot
Holy shit, think I'm obsessed
guess she'll never understand
dunno dunno dunno dunno
She swirls around the old juke-box
I'm so alive but I want more
the cute-good harmony
the craziest thing I've seen
We were in love with Shangri-Las
We were in love with Shangri-Las
We were in love
Come along...
We're running out of time
(and I'll never fall in love)
