He Cried

He Cried - The Shangri-Las

I was walkin' down the street

And it was gettin' mighty late

Well the truth of the matter is

This poor girl had been abandoned by her date

When from out of nowhere

Came this music loud and clear

Let me see from over there

No over there

Over there

Yeah

Well I open up the door

And much to my surprise

The girls were wearin' formals

And the boys were wearin' ties

And I feel that I should mention

That the band was at attention

They just stood there oh so neat

While they played their swingin' beat

So I grabbed this little boy

Who came struttin' 'cross the room

And I say what's that

And he say

Sohisticated boom

It's been long overdue

Sophisticated boom boom

We been nee'in' somethin' new

Sophisticated boom boom

Now stand up straight and tall

Like your back's against the wall

Take two steps forward

Boom boom

And shake your hips

Boom boom

It's been long overdue

Yeah yeah yeah yeah-eh yeah

That's not very sophisticated

We been needin' somethin' new

Yeah yeah yeah-eh

I do think she's blowin' her cool

Boom boom

Now stand up straight and tall

Like your back's against the wall

Take two steps forward

Now shake your hips

Boom boom

Ooo-ooo oo-oo

Ooo-oo-oooo
