(V1)
I once had a fella
My kind of umbrella
And I tell ya
Oh wa wa wa wa wa

He was sweeter than sweet
He was sweet as a treat
He was mine, he was kind
And our love was divine

But then came the rain
And the tears and the pain
And I cried out my eyes
But I never was wise

Cause I don't wanna lose
I don't wanna choose
I just want it all
Like Peter and Paul

(Chorus)
When it comes to love
And romance and doves
I'm just a big fool
But what can I do
Cause I want what I want
And I just wanted you
Oh, boo hoo (poor me)

(V2)
So I sit and wait
Wond'ring what it'll take
To cry out these tears
That I see in my mirror

The wine doesn't help
I just pity myself
New clothes, they look great
But I don't have a date

(Chorus)
When it comes to love
And romance and doves
They say I'm a fool
But what can I do
Cause I want what I want
And I just wanted you
Oh, boo hoo (poor me)

(V3)
If I take a good look
By hook and by crook
I may have been wrong
About our little song

For that man on the street
Has no shoes on his feet
And he dances with pain
In the rain everyday

So it's time to shuffle
Forget I'm a muggle
Let the magic of rain
Fill my day

(Lift)
So I sit and I wait
Wond'ring what it'll take
While I boo hoo (poor me)

(Chorus)
When it comes to love
And romance and doves
They say I'm a fool
But what can I do
I want what I want
And I just want you
Oh, boo hoo hoo hoo
Boo hoo hoo hoo (poor me)
