Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm getting out, I'm getting out
[Verse 2]
Sitting here
Waiting for
Someone calling at my door
Too bad
I'm getting out of love
[Verse 3]
What's the use of changing things?
Wonder what tomorrow brings
Who knows?
I'm getting out of love
[Verse 4]
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude"
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
[Verse 5]
Doo-dah-dah-de-doo-deh-doo
I'm getting out, I'm getting out
[Verse 6]
Clouds roll by and hide the sun
Raindrops falling on everyone
So sad
I'm getting out of love
(Yeah-yeah-yeah)
[Verse 7]
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude"
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude" (Do me, baby!)
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
[Verse 8]
I'm getting out of love
Where is my Shangri-La? (Doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-dah-dey)
Where is my Shangri-La? (I'm getting out of love)
[Verse 9]
I will return
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La
