Lyrics: Julie

Julie, oh, my, Julie, what am I to do, yeah
I’m losing you, I don’t know what to do I feel you slipping away
I’m losing my way with you
Whoa, what could it be, you know it’s just like me to say something wrong
Was I away too long, what did I do

Whoa, Julie, Julie
Julie what am I to do
Julie, Julie
Julie I’m in love with you

Ah, you know I need you
Why because I love you
Oh, I got to have you darling
Don’t take your love away, tell me you’re gonna stay

Ah, I need you badly
Why, I love you madly
Oh, I got to have you darling
Don’t take your love away, tell me that you’re gonna stay

I don’t know when, don’t think I’ve ever been so lost before
Now you’re closing the store on me
Oh, how can I see why you’re avoiding me if you don’t let it out
Tell me what it’s all about, what did I do

Whoa, Julie, Julie
Julie what am I to do
Julie, Julie
Julie, Julie, Julie, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain’t it the truth, ain’t it the truth, ain’t it the truth

Ah, you know I need you
Why, because I love you
Oh, I got to have you darling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah, you know I need you
Why, because I love you
Oh, I got to have you darling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah, you know I need you
Why, because I love you
Oh, I got to have you darling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
