Na na na na, na na na, na na na, na na
If I (be) .......................... a rich girl, na na, na na, na na, na na na na, na na, na na na
See, I (have) ................... all the money in the world if I (be) .................. a wealthy girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
'Cause I (have) .................... all the money in the world if I (be) ................. a wealthy girl
Think what that money could bring
I'd buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, I (not/have)............. just ............... have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I (can) .......................
Please book me first class to
My fancy house in London town
All the riches, baby, won't mean anything
All the riches, baby, won't bring what your love can bring
All the riches, baby, won't mean anything
Don't need no other baby, your lovin' is better than gold, and I know
I'd get me four Harajuku girls to
Inspire me, and they'd come to my rescue
I'd dress them wicked, I'd give them names
Love, Angel, Music, Baby, hurry up and come and save me
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What? It's all love, what? Give it up
What? Shouldn't matter, shouldn't matter
Shouldn't matter, shouldn't matter, what?
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls
What? It's all love, what? Give it up
What? Shouldn't matter, shouldn't matter
Shouldn't matter, shouldn't matter
What happened to my life? Turned upside down
Chicks that blew ya mind, ding, it's the second round
Original track and ting, mmm
You know you can't buy these things, no
See Stefani and her L.A.M.B.
I rock the fetish, people, you know who I am
Yes ma'am, we got the style that's wicked, I hope you can all keep up
We climbed all the way from the bottom to the top
Now we ain't gettin' nothin' but love

. Complete the gaps. (Las rtas están después de la canción)
Sayin' I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say it, but if you only …………………. (know)
How easy it ………………… (be) to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cause I'd already know
What ……….. you ………. (do) if my
heart ………….. (be) torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What …………… you ………….. (say) if I……
(take) those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
(la di da, blah di da da dada)
More than words
(lad di da da di da)
Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cause I'd already know

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay far away, I couldn't fight it,
I hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it still isn't over,
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the very best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,
You know how quickly the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives,
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our really glory days,
Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
