The Sylvers Lyrics
"Boomerang"

Boomerang, oh-oh, oh-oh

Hello, stranger
I see you're back again
And I bet you wanna know
If you could stay with me tonight
Whatever happened
To the telephone
When you're out of town
Girl, the time sure has flown

You caught me off guard
I swear that it was over
This is not the way a girl do to a lover
You're looking so good
You know I can't resist you
You got me wrong, I got to know, it just ain't right

Just like a boomerang (Boomerang, boomerang)
A boomerang
One day you love me and the next you're gone
Like a boomerang (Boomerang, boomerang)
A boomerang
No girl's ever done this
What is going on?

Your sweet kisses
Make me lose my head
And I oughta tell you go
But I'll make you stay instead
You get away with
More than any girl
Teasing me with love, then I'm left in a whirl

Just like revolving doors
You're coming and you're going
When I said I'm yours, my heart is showing
Then you tell me
You turn my body swiftly
Just out to touch me
And you know you gave your way

You're like a boomerang (Boomerang, boomerang)
A boomerang
You're in my arms, then vanished in thin air
Like a boomerang
(Boomerang, boomerang)
A boomerang
I'm gonna reach for you, but baby you're not there

You're like a boomerang (Boomerang, boomerang)
Ooh
I tried to catch you, left you fly out my hands
Like a boomerang (Boomerang, bommerang)
Uh, a boomerang
You turned up again
To reset a new romance

I guess it's coming back on me, oh
Can't get my mind off you
Can't keep my hands on you (oh-oh, oh-oh)

A boomerang
Boomerang, oh-oh, oh-oh
A boomerang

[INTERLUDE]

(Boomerang)
You're my boomerang, you can't do that
Don't you know you have to come back?
We don't have to be a pair
Just as long as I know you'll be there
When I really mean is..
You're like a (boomerang) boomerang
One day you're here
And the next you're gone, oh
(Boomerang) No girl's ever done this to me before
You know it's tricking me out

Boomerang [echoes]

[BREAKDOWN]

Uh, a boomerang

[SPOKEN:]
FOSTER, WHAT'S UP MAN?
Hey, I gotta talk to you. I gotta talk to somebody.
TALK TO ME, MAN.
Look, there's this freak...
AWWW, NO, NOT AGAIN!
Look, wait a minute. Listen, just listen. Now you know me.
Ain't gonna let no girl getting the best of me, man.
She's literally out of this world.
WHAT? YOU MEAN SHE'S LIKE E.T.?
On the contrary, she's 10 plus 10 plus 10: body, face and mind.
She's got it all together.
WELL, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
Uh, she's too slippery. (laughs)
LIKE I SAID, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I don't know if I'm running her, or she's running me.
I can't control her.
I mean, she's here one minute and gone the next.
She's got this certain power.
POWER? YEAH, WELL FOSTER, BUT I'D BETTER BE GETTING ON
OUTTA HERE.
Look, man. I'm serious. Now listen, this girl's taking me out, alright?
ALRIGHT. I'M SORRY, MAN.. BUT HURRY UP!
Well, the first time it happened we're at this mall.
I'll go get her something to eat and come back
and she's talking to this guy. I figured it ain't no thing,
but my arm is getting kinda tired for holding this food
then acting like I'm not even there.
So I pull her to the side, re-established my ground
You know, the whole bit. Well, I guess I kinda overdid it.
WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU DO?
I told her if she picks me out from one street one more time,
I'm getting out of dodge solo.
All of the sudden, I heard this sound.
SOUND?
Yeah, like a helicopter.
IN THE MALL, MAN?
Yeah, uh.. No, man, it's this sound.
Then I turned back around and she was gone.
WITH THE DUDE?
No, man. She was gone, vanished. I'm talking disappearing act.
It wouldn't been bad if I see her walked away,
but I didn't see her walk away.
UH, YEAH.. WELL, FOSTER, HAVE YOU BEEN CONSIDERED
SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP?
Yeah. I've been to two psychologists and they both tell me
the same thing: get yourself another girl.
So I said "cool." I hit a couple of my favorite spots.
It wasn't too long until I found somebody I liked.
We ended up in my pad, just kickin' it
When all of the sudden I heard that sound again.
And there she was standing right in the middle of my
living room floor. Now I'm busted. The other girl left,
But I'm so glad to see her that I didn't care.
So I reached out to touch her, and all I could hear is that sound.
OH MAN, THIS SOUNDS TO ME THAT THIS MATCH
HAS TAUGHT SOME KIND OF A LESSON.
What you mean?
WELL, REMEMBER WHEN YOU WENT OFF ON DESIREE?
Yeah.
AND JUDY?
Yeah.
AND SHEILA?
Yeah.
WELL, IT'S COMING BACK AT YOU, MAN. LIKE A BOOMERANG.

(Boomerang)
You're my boomerang, you can't do that
Don't you know you have to come back?
We don't have to be a pair
Just as long as I know you'll be there
