[Verse 1]
Your precious sweetheart, she's so faithful, she's so true
Oh yeah
Her dreams are tumbling, her world is crumbling because of you, uhh uh
One day you'll hurt her just once too much
And when you finally lose your tender touch, hey, hey
[Chorus]
Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Day
Her feet may wander, her heart may stray, oh yeah
Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo- Be-Doo-Da-Dee
You going to send your baby straight to me
[Verse 2]
I'm going to give her all the lovin' within my heart, oh yeah
I'm going to patch up every single little dream you tore apart Understand me?
And when she tells you she's cried her last tear
Heaven knows I'm going to be somewhere near, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
You'd better listen to me, yeah, yeah
Heartaches are calling tears are falling because of you
Hey, yeah
And when you're gone you'll know I'm the one to go to her rescue
