The Shirelles

The Shirelles were an African American girl group that achieved popularity in the early 1960s. They consisted of schoolmates Shirley Owens (later Shirley Alston-Reeves), Doris Coley (later Doris Kenner-Jackson), Addie "Micki" Harris (later Addie Harris McPherson), and Beverly Lee. They have been described as either the first African-American girl group to top the Billboard Hot 100, or the first girl group overall, with the song "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". more »

Everybody tells me I'm 
A fool and I'm just wastin' time 
To love someone who's not in love with me 
Friends all say that I'm a dope 
To stay in love when there's no hope 
But I'm a dope who loves him hopelessly 

What can I do? Hey, what can I say? 
Each time I try to say goodbye 
His lips get in the way 
Oh yeah, his lips get in the way 

He says my love don't mean a thing 
But still he keeps me on a string 
I'm just someone he likes to have around 
I say I want no more of this 
But then he stops me with a kiss 
I can't resist him though he puts me down 

What can I do? Hey, what can I say? 
Each time I try to say goodbye 
His lips get in the way 
Oh yeah, his lips get in the way 

Everybody calls me fool 
They say "Hey girl, go back to school 
And learn the things that every girl should know" 
But I guess I've got no brains 
Because my foolish heart remains 
I just can't break the chains & let him go, no no 

What can I do? Hey, what can I say? 
Each time I try to say goodbye 
His lips get in the way 
Oh yeah, his lips get in the way
