A temperamental ex stops and asks her why But "why?" cannot expect a true reply Somehow love's picture hangs imperfect And hand on heart we learn the score The lovers and their wars Are wondering whats meant to be For hope will spring eternal While love has got you on your knees, oh-oh-oh Sha-la-la-la, woman Sha-la-la-la, man Sha-la-la-la, woman Sha-la-la-la, man Sha-la-la-la, woman Always and much more Her body makes an "S", today they made a scene His sleepless needing her, he dogs her dreams Then he wakes up on her doorstep Then he wakes up on his floor More drunken than before She wouldn't open up to him But hope will spring eternal Through a multitude of sins, oh-oh-oh Sha-la-la-la, woman Sha-la-la-la, man Sha-la-la-la, woman Sha-la-la-la, man Sha-la-la-la, woman Always, always, always For hope will spring eternal While love has got you on your knees Sha-la-la-la, woman Sha-la-la-la, man Sha-la-la-la, woman Sha-la-la-la, man Sha-la-la-la, woman Always and forever more
