Don-a-lu-a-don-a-lu-la-do-be-a
Do-run-run-run
Don-a-lu-a-don-a-lu-la-do-be-a
Do-run-run-run
Tonight at midnight you came by a-do-be-a
Hey-run-run-run
I shook my head tried not to cry a-do-be-a
Hey-run-run-run
Halfway weeping halfway sleeping do-be-a
Hey-run-run-run
Tossing turning trembling burnin' do-be-a
Hey-run-run-run
Here it comes, heartache
You wore your hair down
I love it that way
You reached out and touched me
And then you faded away
It's unreal, the way I feel do-be-a
Hey-run-run-run
It's almost dawn and you are gone do-be-a
Hey-run-run-run
Run-run-run
Here it comes, heartache
Heartache on heartache
Deeper than blue
Teardrop on teardrop
I'm still in love with you
What a way to start a day do-be-a
Hey-run-run-run
Run-run-run
Here it comes, heartache over you
Heartache for you
Everytime you walk through my mind
I get that old heartache
(don-a-lu-a-do-be-a
