Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah
C G F
Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah
It's a wondrous world of ridiculous things
With nothing so rare as the love that it brings
In the silence of a smile that understands
A piece of the action, pieces of gold
Everyone's paid well and does what they're told
For the simple daughter of a simple man
And up in the air, they would write your name there
But love would fall to pieces in the rain
Who would know better than you? A hundred love letters and none of them true
Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah
Christina, oh-wah-oh, yeah
C G F
Christina, oh-wah-oh-wah oh-wah, yeah
C G D F C
Christina, oh-wah-oh-wah oh-wah, ye - e - ah
