Hey, hey, hey...

Listening to Abbey Road
On a record that′s a little broke,
But it's never sounded more beautiful.
You tell me you′ve got things to do,
But you know I can't say bye to you;
Stay a little longer.

I'm head over heels.
Baby, I am getting a feel
For everything you are to me.
Let′s make a deal.
Baby, I′ll be set if you steal
My heart away from me.

Staring at the ceiling stars you made.
Duct tape does the job when I'm awake
And you are sleeping.
You tell me you′ve got things to do,
But you know I can't bye to you;
Stay a little longer.

I′m head over heels.
Baby, I am getting a feel
For everything you are to me.
Let's make a deal.
Baby, I′ll be set if you steal
My heart away from me.

I'm head over heels.
Baby, I am getting a feel
For everything you are to me.
Let's make a deal.




Baby, I′ll be set if you steal
My heart away from me
