La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day My cherie amour, distant as the Milky Way My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore You're the only girl my heart beats for How I wish that you were mine In a cafe, or sometimes on a crowded street I've been near you, but you never noticed me My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore That behind that little smile I wore? How I wish that you were mine La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la Maybe someday you'll see my face among the crowd Maybe someday I'll share your little distant cloud Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore You're the only girl my heart beats for How I wish that you were mine La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la La-la, la, la, la, la

A faixa foi originalmente gravada em 1966, mas só teve seu lançamento oficial três anos depois, em 1969, após ser remixada
O título da música nasceu de uma sugestão de Sylvia Moy, que pediu a Stevie Wonder para trocar o nome "Marcia" — presente na composição original chamada "Oh My Marcia" — por "Cherie Amour"
A letra conta uma história autobiográfica do autor sobre uma mulher que o fascinantava quando ele frequentava a Michigan School for the Blind, em Lansing, Michigan
O icônico bass line da canção foi reaproveitado em outras faixas notáveis, como "Until You Come Back to Me" de Aretha Franklin e "Soul Inspiration" de Anita Baker
O single alcançou a posição de número 4 tanto no charts de música pop quanto no R&B da Billboard em 1969
A música fez parte da sonoridade do comercial da linha Miss Dior Cherie, estrelado pela neta de Elvis Presley, Riley Keough
