Lyrics Holly - Smokey Robinson

Holly

Holly made the rules
She laid down all the laws
Then broke the ones she made
Most folks would be afraid
To play the games that Holly played
When she was seventeen
She ran away from home
As fast as she could run
Said home was just no fun
There was an awful lot of doing to be done
Holly on a cloud in the sky
Way above the crowd flying high, ooh-ooh…
Holly on a cloud in the sky, yeah
Way above the crowd flying high
Holly made the scene
She’s gone to every place
She never should have been
Oh, but she was hanging in
Couldn’t tell her nothing then, no
Strangers in the night
Have paid a handsome price
To sleep in Holly’s bed
She couldn’t see that far ahead
To know that she’d become
One of the living dead
Holly on a cloud in the sky, ooh-ooh…
Way above the crowd flying high, ooh-ooh…
Ooh-ooh-ooh…
Holly was confused
She did some things
That even she could no explain
Oh, but now she’s so in pain
The devil running through her veins
Holly on a cloud in the sky, ooh-ooh…
Way above the crowd flying high
How could Holly make such a great mistake
To take that she could beat the rap
In just one fling, it never happened
Holly on a cloud in the sky, ooh, Holly
Way above the crowd flying high
Ooh-ooh-ooh…
Holly on a cloud in the sky
Ooh, life is passing by, yeah
Way above the crowd flying high
Ooh, life is passing by…
