Wah-Wah
George Harrison · All Things Must Pass [2000]
And I'm thinking of you; and all the things
That we used to do wah-wah/wah-wah
Wah-wah - you made me such a big star
Being there at the right time - cheaper than
a dime wah-wah/wah-wah/wah-wah
You don't see me crying
You don't hear me sighing
Wah-wah - now I don't need no wah-wah's
And I know how sweet life can be
If I keep myself free of wah-wah
Wah-wah/wah-wah
Wah-Wah
