Smokey Robinson
Holly
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
Holly made the rules
She laid down all the laws
Then broke the ones she made
Most folks would be afraid

She couldn't see that far ahead
To know that she would become
One of the living dead
(One of the living, one of the living dead)
[Chorus]
Holly on a cloud in the sky, ooh
Way above the crowd flying high, ooh
Ooh, Holly

[Verse 3]
Holly was confused
She did some things that even she could not explain
Oh, but now she's so in pain

[Chorus]
Holly on a cloud in the sky, ooh-ooh
Way above the crowd flying high

[Bridge]
How could Holly make such a great mistake?
To think that she could beat the rap in just one fling
It never happened

[Chorus]
Holly on a cloud in the sky, ooh, Holly
Way above the crowd flying high, ooh, Holly
Holly on a cloud in the sky
Her life is passing by
Way above the crowd flying high (Yeah)
Her life is passing by
Holly on a cloud in the sky, ooh
Way above the
