Song title help

Okay, I'm trying to find this song but I don't know who it's by and I can't seem to remember the lyrics. It's a female singer and it starts with a "Dodo do do dodo" thing that is repeated throughout the song. I've heard it like 12,000 times but all I can think of right now is the "do do" part. It was a really popular song and still comes on the radio sometimes, I was trying to tell my girlfriend the title but I totally forgot, any help would be appreciated.

I think it's Dido's "Do Do."

Though his voice is high, Sting is not a female singer.

I think we need clarification of the doo doos.

If it's doot doo doo-doo doot do doo doo, it's Suzanne Vega's. (My first guess since he said 12k times and it still comes on sometimes.)

http://www.lyricsdomain.com/19/suzan...oms_diner.html

I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee


If it's this one:

I don't want to to wait for our lives to be over,
I want to know right now what will it be
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over,
Will it be yes or will it be...sorry?

Then it's Dido.

If that's it you want the DNA version: Track 2 (Vega) or Track 12 (DNA)
