Cherry Lyrics

[Intro]
Cherry is gone away (Oh, Cherry)
Cherry is gone to stay (Ooh)
Cherry left our happy home
And gone on her own

[Verse 1]
Cherry, every day I pray (Oh, Cherry)
That you come home to stay (Ooh)
Cherry, I miss you so
More than you ever know

[Chorus]
Heaven knows I pray
That you return
What have I done wrong?
Cherry, I don't know

[Verse 2]
Cherry, please come back home (Oh, Cherry)
Come at my broken heart (Ooh)
Let's forget the past
And start all over

[Refrain]
From the day you left (Oh, Cherry)
I'm not what I usеd to be (Ooh)
Cherry, you took
You took the man in mе, yeah
[Interlude]
Woah, oh, yeah
Mm, mm, mm

[Chorus]
Heaven knows I pray
That you return
If I have done you wrong
Cherry, I don't know

[Bridge]
Cherry is gone away (Oh, Cherry)
Cherry is gone to stay (Ooh)
Cherry left our happy home
And gone on her own

[Refrain]
From the day you left (Oh, Cherry)
I'm not what I used to be (Ooh)
Cherry, you took
You took the man in me, yeah

[Outro]
Cherry is gone (Oh, Cherry)
Cherry is gone (Ooh)
Oh, Cherry is gone
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone
Oh, she's gone (Oh, Cherry)
Cherry, Cherry is gone (Ooh)
Cherry, Cherry, please, come back home
Cherry, I miss you so
More than you ever know (Oh, Cherry)
Oh, I miss you so (Ooh)
Cherry, please, come back home to me
Don't stay away, don't stay away, don't stay away (Oh, Cherry)
No, Cherry, please, please, please, please, please (Ooh)
Oh, please, please, return
Oh (Oh, Cherry)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
