Been solo for so long, no copilot, no
And all of these love songs make you sick, I know
This ain't no karaoke partner duet
We can sway along as you lose your head

All the pretty girls lookin' sad all summer
All the pretty boys wanna dance
Strangers in a world full of lonely lovers
Find someone and take 'em by the hand

Sha-la-la, hey, hey, hey
I'm in a mood, so all you summer lovers,
make you sway
Sha-la-la, hey, baby
I'm in a mood, so all you summer lovers,
make you sway
Swingin' it high, swingin' it low
No one tonight, gotta sing it alone
Sha-la-la, hey, hey, hey
I'm in a mood, so all you summer lovers,
make you sway

(Make you sway)
(Make you sway)

All the pretty girls lookin' sad all summer
All the pretty boys wanna dance
Strangers in a world full of lonely lovers
Find someone and take 'em by the hand

Chorus:
Sha-la-la, hey, hey, hey
I'm in a mood, so all you summer lovers,
make you sway
Sha-la-la, hey, baby
I'm in a mood, so all you summer lovers,
make you sway
Swingin' it high, swingin' it low
No one tonight, gotta sing it alone
Sha-la-la, hey, hey, hey
I'm in a mood, so all you summer lovers,
make you sway

(Make you sway)
