His Lips Get In The Way Lyrics - Singles - The Shirelles

Everybody tells me I'm 

A fool & 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 

CHORUS: 

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 

(chorus) 

Everybody calls me fool 

They say "Hey girl, go back to school 

& 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 

(chorus) 

(repeat title & fade)
