Lyrics

Cherry Pie

[Intro]

Gotta find out what I meant to you

You're the one who broke my heart

Gotta find out what I'm meant to do

You're the one who broke my heart

[Verse 1]

When I met you, boy

You were as sweet as cherry pie

That smile in your eye

You were as wild as Friday night

I should have known

However hard you tried

Change would come and strangle it

It was bound to die

[Chorus]

You were sweet as cherry pie

Wild as Friday night

Sweet as cherry pie

Wild as Friday night

[Bridge]

Gotta find out what I meant to you

You're the one who broke my heart in two

Gotta find out what I meant to you

Oh, boy

Gotta find out what I meant to you

You're the one who broke my heart in two

Where were you just when I needed you?

[Verse 2]

You gave me your soul

For at least a day

Listen, boy, there was a time

When I wanted you to stay

You know the cost

It's you who's gonna pay

I'm stronger now; I loved you then

I ask you anyway

[Chorus]

You were sweet as cherry pie

Wild as Friday night

Sweet as cherry pie

Wild as Friday night

[Bridge]

Gotta find out what I meant to you

You're the one who broke my heart in two

Where were you just when I needed you, boy?

Gotta find out what I meant to you

You're the one who broke my heart in two

Ooh, I needed you

Baa doo doo doo doo, doo doo, baa doo doo doo

Baa doo doo doo doo (You tease me), baa doo doo doo

Baa doo doo doo doo, doo doo (You broke my heart)

Baa doo doo doo

Baa doo doo doo doo (You broke my heart)

Baa doo doo doo

Hoo hoo, ooh hoo

You were the only one, you were the only one

You're a son of a gun

You were the only one, you were the only one

Oh boy, you broke my heart

Sweet as cherry pie

Sweet as cherry pie

Gotta find out what I meant to you

You're the one who broke my heart in two

Gotta find out what I meant to you

Oh, boy

Gotta find out what I meant to you

Where were you just when I needed you?

Gotta find out what I meant to you, boy

Doo doop doo doop

Doo doop doo doop

Doo doop doo doop

Doo doo doop doop doop

Doo doo doop doop doop

[Outro]

Where were you when I needed you?

You were the only one, you were the only one

Ooh, son of a gun

You were the only one

I'm feeling stronger now; I loved you then

So I ask you anyway

Gotta find out what I meant to you

(Sweet as cherry pie)

You broke my heart

(Sweet as cherry pie)

Gotta find out what I meant to you

You tease me

You were the only one, you were the only one

Wild as Friday night

Son of a gun

You were the only one, you were the only one

(Sweet as cherry pie)
