Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Everyone falls in love sometimes

Sometimes, it's wrong

And sometimes, it's right

For every win

Someone must fail

But there comes a point when

When we exhale, yeah, yeah, say

[Chorus]

Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop (Shoop-be-doop)

Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop

Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop (All you gotta do is say shoop-be-doop)

Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop

Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop (Shoop-be-doop)

Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop (My love, uh)

Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doo

[Verse 2]

Sometimes, you'll laugh

Sometimes, you'll cry

Life never tells us the when's or why's

When you've got friends to wish you well

You'll find your point when you will exhale, yeah, yeah, say

[Chorus]

Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop (Shoop-be-doo-be)

(Shoop, shoop, shoop) Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop

Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop (Shoop-be, shoop-be, shoop-do-be)

Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop

(Say shoop, say shoop) Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop

(Say shoop-be, say shoop) Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop

(Say shoop-be, shoop-be-doo) Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop

[Bridge]

Oh, hearts are often broken

When there are words unspoken

In your soul, there's

Answers to your prayers

If you're searching for a place you know

A familiar face, somewhere to go

You should look inside yourself

You're halfway there

[Verse 3]

And sometimes, you'll laugh

And sometimes, you'll cry

Life never tells us the when's or why's

But when you've got friends to wish you well

You'll find your point when you will exhale, yeah

[Chorus]

Say shoop-be, shoop-be (Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop)

Shoop-be, shoop-be (Shoop, shoop shoop-be-doop)

Shoop-be, shoop-be-doop (Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop)

Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop

Doop, doop, shoop be (Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop)

Shoop-be, feels alright (Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doop)

You can say, oh (Shoop, shoop, shoop-be-doo)
