Cecilia

You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Awww...
Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home
Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom
(makin' love) I got up to wash my face,
When I come back to bed
Someone's taken my place
Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
wo-oh-ooooh-oh,
wo-oh-oh-oh-oh
wo-oh-oh-oh-oh,oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
