He Was Really Sayin’ Somethin’ Songtext
von The Marvelettes

Hey, I was a-walking down the street (do-wa, do-wa)
When this boy started following me (just to flirt)
Though I ignored everything he′d say (do-wa, do-wa)
He moved me in every way
With his collar unbuttoned, by my side he was struttin'

Girls, he was really sayin′ somethin'
Really sayin' somethin′, ooh
Bap, bap, sookie doo-wah-dah
Bap, bap, sookie doo-wah

He flirted every step of the way (do-wa, do-wa)
I could feel every word he′d say (ooh yeah)
My resistance was getting low (do-wa, do-wa)
And my feeling started to show
My heart started thumpin', blood pressure jumpin′


Girls, he was a-really sayin' somethin′
A-really sayin' somethin′, ooh
Bap, bap, sookie doo-wah-dah
Bap, bap, sookie doo-wah
All right now girls

As he walked me to my door (do-wa, do-wa)
I agreed to see him once more (oh yeah)
Ladylike it may not be (do-wa, do-wa)
But he moved me tremendously
Though he was bold, my heart he stole

Hey, he was really sayin' somethin'
Really sayin′ somethin′, ooh
Bap, bap, sookie doo-wah-dah
Bap, bap, sookie doo-wah

Girls, he was a-really sayin' somethin′
A-really sayin' somethin′
He was a-really, ooh really (sayin' somethin′)
I said he really was sayin' somethin'
