(Chorus)
Shela, Shela, she like a hurricane
Shela, Shela, she like a ball and chain
Shela, Shela, she like a hurricane
Got myself a lady
Got down on my knees, yeah...
Hotter than Hades
Heaven if you please, yeah...
(Chorus)
Some girls put it to you
Make you scream in pain, yeah...
Some will say they knew you
And then forget your name, yeah...
Shela, real tight
Shela, that's right
Shela
She said she could do it
Love she could fulfill
There ain't noting to it
Backbone gets a chill
Yeah, yeah, yeah...Highest UK Chart Position: 7 (8 weeks on chart)

Ooh you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see
Ooo you make me live now honey
Ooo you make me live
Ooh you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh you're my best friend
Ooo you make me live
Ooh I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home
You're my best friend
Ooo you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooo you make me live now honey
Ooo you make me live
You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
You're my best friend
Ooo you make me live
I'm happy at home
You're my best friend
Oh you're my best friend
Ooo you make me live
You you're my best friend
