Exhale (Shoop Shoop) (Live at HBO’s from Washington, D.C, 1997) Lyrics

Everyone falls in love sometime
Sometimes it's wrong
And sometimes it's right, Thank you, mush
For every win
Someone must fail
But there comes a point when
When we exhale, yeah, yeah, can you sing?

(Shoop, Shoop, Shoop)
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop)
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) yea
All you got to say is shoo be doop

(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop)
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop)
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop)
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) Oh, my god
(Shoo Be Doop)

Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us
The when's or why's
When you've got friends to wish you well
You'll find a point when
I gonna exhale, exhale, exhale
(Shoop, Shoop, Shoop)
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop)
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) haha
All you got to say is shoo be doop

Shoo
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) Shoo
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) Be Doop
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) Be Doop
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) Oh, my god
(Shoo Be Doop) Shoo Be Doop, oh, oh

Hearts are often broken
When there are words unspoken
In your soul there's
Answers to your prayers
If you're searching for
A place you know
A familiar face
Somewhere to go
You should look inside yourself
You're halfway there

Sometimes you'll laugh
Sometimes you'll cry
Life never tells us
The when's or why's
When you've got friends to wish you well
You'll find a point when
I gonna exhale, exhale, exhale, say
(Shoop,) Shoop (Shoop,) Shoop (Shoop)
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) Shoop you
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) can you, can you
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) can you, can you
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) shoop
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop)
(Shoo Be Doop Shoop Shoop) can you, can you
(Shoo Be Doop) can you, can get down for me
