Boa, BoA, or BOA may refer to:
Boa is the debut album by the Croatian and former Yugoslav eponymous rock band. It was released in 1982.
Boa is a Croatian music group, which was especially prominent during the 1980s around the former SFR Yugoslavia.
The band's early history started in Zagreb, then SR Croatia in 1974, when its founding members Mladen Puljiz and Slavko Remenarić, switched their interest from classical music to rock music, inspired by art rock acts such as Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, David Bowie, Roxy Music and Peter Gabriel.
The group started its concert activity in 1979 with a line-up consisted of: Mladen Puljiz (keyboards, vocals), Slavko Remenarić (guitar), Igor Šoštarić (drums) and Damir Košpić (bass guitar). The band moved towards the then actual New Romantic sound and fashion and after the release of their debut album for Suzy in 1982, they were voted by the readers of the prominent Yugoslav musical magazine Džuboks as the best upcoming act of the year.
Their next album Ritam strasti (Rhythm of passion) followed by around a hundred concerts around former Yugoslavia brought them even higher popularity. Despite the fact that their next album Govor tijela (Body language) included some successful hits, the band fell into creative crisis and thus the group halted its activities until 1989 when the group got a new rhythm section consisted of the drummer Paolo Sfeci (former member of Aerodrom and Parni valjak) and the bass player Zvonimir Bučević (prominent session musician).
Guess you lose and it's too late to try to come back
What part of no don't you understand? Too bad
There you go down with yesterday's news in the trash can
I got no time to be looking back, I'm past that
And now you wanna change, it's too little too late
You shoulda loved me right when you had me
(Shoulda shoulda but you didn't did ya?)
You shoulda known I'm not gonna sit around
And wait for you to get your act together
Shoulda known better
Don't say you wanna, don't say you were gonna
You shoulda loved me right but you didn't, did ya?
Gotta a new place, a hot ride, this Gucci handbag
To match my kicks and my brand new plan, hey now
Why the look of confusion? Oh sorry, my bad
Forgot to mention my brand new man, take that
Say you wanna change, it's too little too late
You shoulda loved me right when you had me
(Shoulda shoulda but you didn't did ya?)
You shoulda known I'm not gonna sit around
And wait for you to get your act together
Shoulda known better
Don't say you wanna, don't say you were gonna
You shoulda loved me right but you didn't, did ya?
Take a good look 'cause it's the last you'll see of me
(Take a good look, take a good look, baby)
Memorize this, all you have are memories
(Memorize this, 'cause it's all you get to keep)
No words, no rings, not a damn thing
Is gonna bring me back to you
I'm so over you
You shoulda loved me right when you had me
(Shoulda shoulda but you didn't did ya?)
You shoulda known I'm not gonna sit around
And wait for you to get your act together
Shoulda known better
Don't say you wanna, don't say you were gonna
