[Intro – layered “doo-wah, wah-ooh” harmonies, finger snaps, guitar tremolo] doo-wah, wah-ooh Wah-ooh, wah-ooh… heartbreak tonight… [Verse 1 – smooth guitar rhythm, soft bass walk] Cherry red shoes on a cracked-up street Neon signs hum where the lost hearts meet Sugar-sweet whispers melt like ice Every hello’s just a roll of dice [Chorus – upbeat swing with “doo-wah” background vocals] Oh heartbreak soda pop (doo-wah, doo-wah) Fizzin’ till the bubbles stop (wah-ooh, wah-ooh) You taste so sweet, you sting so sharp Heartbreak soda pop (doo-wah, doo-wah) [Verse 2 – brighter tempo, snapping rhythm] Jukebox spinning our final song Each note’s a dagger dragging me along Your laugh’s the tune I can’t forget But every sip leaves a bitter regret [Pre-Chorus – claps and vocal echo layering] I can’t quit it, no, I can’t let go (wah-ooh, wah-ooh) Dancing in circles with the afterglow (doo-doo-wah, doo-doo-wah) [Chorus – fuller harmony, bass voice echo “pop-pop!”] Oh heartbreak soda pop (doo-wah, doo-wah) Fizzin’ till the bubbles stop (wah-ooh, wah-ooh) You taste so sweet, you sting so sharp Heartbreak soda pop (doo-wah, wah-ooh) [Bridge – dreamy slowdown, reverb guitar, humming harmony] Glass half empty or glass half full Every sip pulls me like a whirlpool The bottle’s empty, the night’s gone cold But the taste of you never gets old (doo-wah… wah-ooh… never gets old…) [Final Chorus – energetic, with layered group vocals and tambourine hits] Oh heartbreak soda pop (doo-wah, doo-wah) Fizzin’ till the bubbles stop (wah-ooh, wah-ooh) You taste so sweet, you sting so sharp Heartbreak soda pop (doo-wah, doo-wah) [Outro – fading harmonies and soft guitar echo] Wah-ooh… heartbreak soda pop… Doo-wah… heartbreak soda pop… fade away…
