Jackie Wilson Said
Van Morrison · Other Songs - Van Morrison
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
Jackie Wilson said, it was reet petite,
Kind of love you got, knocks me off my feet.
Let it all hang out, oh let it all hang out
Ahh you know, I'm so wired up,
don't need no cofee in my cup,
let it all hang out, let it all hang out
watch this
Dang a lang a lang dang a lang a lang a lang.
Dang a lang a lang dang a lang a lang a lang.
doo doo doo doo doo
I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven,
I'm in heaven
when you smile, when you smile,
when you smile, when you smile
and when you walk across the road, it make my heart
go BOOM BOOM BOOM
let it all hang out
baby let it all hang out
There are times, you look my way
heaven child, you'd make my day
let it all hang it out
like the man said let it all hang out
Dang a lang a lang dang a lang a lang a lang.
Dang a lang a lang dang a lang a lang a lang.
doo doo doo doo doo
I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven
When you smile, when you smile
I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven
When you smile, one more time
I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven
When you smile, when you smile
