(Hey, what's the big idea?)



Suckin' too hard on your lollipop

Oh love's gonna get you down

Suckin' too hard on your lollipop

Oh love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love

Oh love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love

Oh love's gonna get you down



I went walking with my mama one day

When she warned me what people say

"Live your life until love is found

Cuz love's gonna get you down"



"Take a look at the girl next door

She's a player and a downlight bore

Jesus loves her but she wants more

Oh bad girls get you down"



Suckin' too hard on your lollipop

Oh love's gonna get you down

Suckin' too hard on your lollipop

Oh love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love

Oh love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love

Oh love's gonna get you down



Mama told me what I should know

Too much candy's gonna rot your soul

If she loves you, let her go!

Cuz love only gets you down



Now take a look at the boy like me

Never stood on my own two feet

Now I'm blue, as I can be

Oh love, come and get me down!



Suckin' too hard on your lollipop

Oh love's gonna get you down

Suckin' too hard on your lollipop

Oh love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love

Oh love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love

Oh love's gonna get you down



(I went walking with my mama one day,

When she warned me what people say

"Live your life until love is found,

Or love's gonna get you down")



Suckin' too hard on your lollipop

Oh love's gonna get you down

Suckin' too hard on your lollipop

Oh love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love

Oh love's gonna get you down

Say love, say love

Oh love's gonna get you down



Mama told me what I should know

Too much candy‘s gonna rot your soul

If she loves you, let her go!

Cuz love only gets you down



Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, lollipop

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, lollipop
