Lyrics The Shirelles

The Shirelles

His Lips Get In The Way

Everybody tells me I'm

A fool and 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

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

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

Everybody calls me fool

They say "Hey girl, go back to school

And 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

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
