Lyrics for Sheila Take a Bow

Is it wrong to want to live on your own? No, it's not wrong, but I must know How can someone so young Sing words so sad? Sheila take a, sheila take a bow Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear And don't go home tonight Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you The one that you love and who loves you Oh Is it wrong not to always be glad? No, it's not wrong, but I must add How can someone so young Sing words so sad? Sheila take a, sheila take a bow Boot the grime of this world in the crotch, dear And don't go home tonight Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you The one that you love and who loves you Take my hand and off we stride Oh, la la la la You're a girl and i'm a boy La la la la la la Take my hand and off we stride Oh, la la la la I'm a girl and you're a boy La la la la la Sheila take a, sheila take a bow La la la la la Throw your homework onto the fire Come out and find the one that you love Come out and find the one you love
