Original Jackie Wilson version
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) hey hey
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) hey hey
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) hey hey
My heart is crying, crying
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) lonely teardrops
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) my pillow never dry of
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) lonely teardrops
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) come home, come home
Just say you will, say you will (say you will)
Say you will (say you will)
Hey hey (say you will)
My heart is crying, crying
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) lonely teardrops
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) my pillow never dry of
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) lonely teardrops
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) come home, come home
Just say you will, say you will (say you will)
Say you will (say you will)
Hey hey (say you will)
Just give me another chance for our romance
Come on and tell me that one day you'll return
'Cause every day that you've been gone away
You'll know why my heart does nothing but burn
Crying
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) lonely teardrops
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) my pillow never dry of
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) lonely teardrops
(Shooby doo bop, bop baa) come home, come home
Just say you will, say you will (say you will)
Say you will (say you will)
Hey hey (say you will)
Say it right now baby (say you will)
Come on, come on (say you will)
Say it darling, yooo (say you will)
Say it right now baby (say you will)
Yeah, come on, come on (say you will)
Yeah, come...
