Over and Over - Bobby Day

Well, I went to a dance the other night
Everybody went stag
I said over and over and over again
This dance is gonna be a drag

I said over and over and over again
This dance is gonna be a drag
I said over and over and over again
This dance is gonna be a drag

All at once, it happened
Well, the prettiest in this world
Please, won't you
Come over and talk to me
And be my girl

I said won't you
Come over and talk to me
And be my girl
Please, won't you
Come over and talk to me
And be my girl

She said that she was sorry
That I was a little bit late
She would wait and wait
And wait and wait
For her steady date

She would wait and wait
And wait and wait
For her steady date
She would wait and wait
And wait and wait
For her steady date

Now, my poor heart was broken
All of my life, where had she been
But I'll try over and over and over
And over again

I'll try over and over
And over and over again
I will try over and over
And over and over again
