Oh Sherrie
Steve Perry Lyrics

You should've been gone
You should have left me a long time ago.

Knowing how I made you feel
You knew how badly I hurt you.

And I should've been gone
I should have left you too.

After all your words of steel
Especially after everything you said to me.

Oh I must've been a dreamer (must've been a dreamer, oh)
I must have been living in a fantasy world.

And I must've been someone else (someone else)
I wasn't being my true self with you.

And we should've been over (over by now)
Our relationship should have ended by now.

Oh Sherrie, our love Holds on, holds on
Despite everything, our love is still going strong.

But I want to let go You'll go on hurtin' me
I want to end things, because staying with you is painful for me.

You'd be better off alone If I'm not who you thought I'd be
You would be happier if you left me, because I'm not the person you hoped I was.

But you know that there's a fever Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else
You know that our love is special and rare, and you won't find that anywhere else.

Can't you feel it burnin', on and on
Don't you feel the passion and intensity of our love?

But I should've been gone Long ago, far away
I should have left you a long time ago and been far away by now.

And you should've been gone Now I know just why you stay
You should have left me too, but I understand why you haven't.

Oh Sherrie, our love Holds on, holds on
Our love is enduring, no matter what.

Hold on, oh Sherrie
Hang in there with me, Sherrie.
