Woo-hoo, woo-hoo I came across a place in the middle of nowhere With a big black horse and a cherry tree Woo-hoo, woo-hoo I felt a little fear upon my back He said "Don't look back, just keep on walking" Woo-hoo, woo-hoo When the big black horse said, "Hey lady!" Said, "Look this way, will you marry me?" Woo-hoo, woo-hoo

I said no, no, you're not the one for me And my heart hit a problem, in the early hours So I stopped it dead for a beat or two Woo-hoo, woo-hoo But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done it And it won't forgive me after all these years Woo-hoo, woo-hoo So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere With a big black horse and a cherry tree Woo-hoo, woo-hoo Now it won't come back, 'cause it's oh so happy And now I've got a hole for the world to see Woo-hoo, woo-hoo But I said no, no, no, no, no, no I said no, no, you're not the one for me No, no, no, no, no, no I said no, no, you're not the one for me Said no, no, no, no, no, no No, no, you're not the one for me No, no, no, no, no, no No, no, you're not the one for me
