Burn Like A Rocket
I-wanna-do-de-bop-bop-a-do-de-bop)
(I-wanna-do-de-bop-bop-a-do-de-bop)
(I-wanna-ah-ah-ah-ah-I-wanna-do-de-bop-bop-a-do)
(I-wanna-do)
Someone wave goodbye (do-de-bop-I-wanna-do)
Come and wave goodbye (do-de-bop-I-wanna-do)
I'll be leaving, won't you hold the door (do-de-bop-bop-a-do)
Well, if I said I love you and I don't love you anymore
(I-wanna-do-de-bop-bop-a-do-de-bop)
(I-wanna-do-de-bop-bop-a-do-de-bop)
(I-wanna-do)
I know it's gonna hurt (do-de-bop-I-wanna-do)
But you treated me like dirt (do-de-bop-I-wanna-do)
I always repayed every debt I owed (Bop-bop-a-do-de-bop-bop)
Well, if you think you're lucky well, you're not lucky anymore
(I-wanna-do-de-bop-bop-a-do-de-bop)
Well, we burned like a rocket
You said you loved me just like I love you
But find a dime in your pocket
And you're on the run to someone new
Well, we burned like a rocket
You said you loved me just like I love you
But find a dime in your pocket
And you're on the run to someone new
Someone had to break (Do-bop-a-bop-a-do)
One of us had to break (Do-bop-a-bop-a-do)
Now I do without all the things I need you for (Do-bop-a-bop-a-do)
Well if I said I love you, well, I don't love you anymore (Do-bop-a-bop-a-do)
Oh yes, if I said I love you, well, I don't love you anymore
