If I shut up suddenly
it's cause I'm thinking of Theresa
She doesn't belong to me
but some day maybe Theresa
what could I say
to persuade you Theresa
I will say it every day
to be with you Theresa
We appreciate all the pleasantries you bring
and quite frankly my dear
I prefer when you are here
Theresa is my friend
long after you've gone
and right by her side
I'll be singing
I don't got a lot to show
but what I do is for Theresa
and my bank account is low
but she don't care, she's Theresa
You can see it in her lips
she's beautiful, my Theresa
and her song goes like this
whoa I love Theresa
We appreciate all the pleasantries you bring
and quite frankly my dear
I prefer when you are here
Theresa is my friend
long after you've gone
and right by her side
I'll be dreaming
California just might be alright
at least for a while
She holds up her middle finger
while she fakes a smile
I won't stop complaining til I'm holding you
We appreciate all the pleasantries you bring
and quite frankly my dear
I prefer when you are here
Theresa is my friend
long after you've gone
and right by her side
I'll be jamming
Imagine the street
just you and me and your dumb little dog
life would be just like a holiday all season long
I won't stop complaining till I'm
I won't stop believin til I'm
I won't stop complaining til I'm holding you
whoa whoa whoa whoa
