"You really blew it, how could you do it?"
That's what the people say
They say I quit it, I should admit it
They say I got my way
People say I did the task, but that depends on who you ask
They say forsake it, I'll never make it
They say I should have stayed
Well, I say people sure are mean to say I peaked at seventeen
And regrettably, unforgettably, they said that I wouldn't dare
I did it anyway, now what will people say?
I say I don't even care
I can't deny it, I've gotta try it
I've gotta just prevail
They say they doubt it, I'll suck without it
They say they bet I'll fail
People said I shouldn't go, but then what do people know?
And regrettably, unforgettably, they said I'm only a sham
I did it anyway, now what will people say?
I say I don't give a damn
What will people say?
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la
That's what the people say
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la
