EXHALE
Robin Thicke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyone falls, falls down sometime
Sometimes it's wrong, sometimes it's right
For every win, I'm gonna fail
But there comes a point when
When I'll exhale

Say Shoop now (Shoop Shoop)
Shoop Be Doo (Shoop Shoop)
Shoop Be Doo, my lord now
Shoop Be, all you got to do is say
Shoop Be Doo (Shoop Shoop)
Shoop Be Doo, my all babe (Shoop Shoop)
Shoop Be, Shoop (Shoop Shoop)
Shoop Be Doo

Sometimes you'll laugh, sometimes I cry
Life never told me, the when's and why's
But see I've got friends to wish me well
So here's the day when
When I'll exhale

Say Shoop Be Doo (Shoop Shoop)
Say Shoop, say Shoop now (Shoop Shoop)
Say Shoop, Sh-Doop (Shoop Shoop)
Shoop, say Shoop now (Shoop Shoop)
Say Shoop now, say Shoop now (Shoop Shoop)
Shoop (Shoop Shoop, Shoop Be Doo)

Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry
Love never tells me, the when's and why's
But when I've got friends to wish me well
There'll come a point when
When I'll exhale

Say Shoop now (Shoop Shoop)
Say Shoop, say Shoop now (Shoop Shoop)
Shoop Be Doo





Thank you

A fitting tribute and song to cover in honor of the late Whitney Houston.  I like the gospel feel that he brought into his interpretation.
