You’ve got the cool water
When the fever runs high
You’ve got the look of love
Light in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
Till you calm me down
It took a little time
But you calm me down
Something goes wrong
I’m the first to admit it
I’m the first to admit it
And the last one to know
Something goes right
Oh it’s likely to lose me
It’s up to confuse me
Such an unusual sight, oh, I swear
I can’t, I can’t get used
To something so right
Something so right
They’ve got a wall in China
It’s a thousand miles long
To keep off the foreigners
They made it strong
And I’ve got a wall around me
That you can’t see
It took a little time
To get next to me
Something goes wrong
I’m the first to admit it
The first to admit it
And the last one to know
Something goes right
Something goes right
Oh it’s likely to lose me
It’s up to confuse me
Such an unusual sight, oh, I swear
Oh, I can’t, I can’t get used
To something so right
Something so right
Some people never say the words
“I love you”
It’s not best time to be so cold
Some people never say the words
“I love you”
But like a child they’re longing to be told
Hmm…something goes wrong
I am the first to admit it
I’m the first to admit it
And the last one to know
Something goes right
Something goes right
It’s like it’ll lose me
It’s up to confuse me
Such an unusual sight, oh, I swear
I swear, I swear I can’t, I can’t get used to
Hmm… something so right!
Hmm… something so right!
