That frightening little sound it's just the world awake
|
It's just a way of saying we're in business
|
It's just a lightning strike, it's just a family row
|
It's just the give and take of forgiveness
|
|
Chance being a fine thing brought us together
|
But we're not magnets well not forever
|
It's just the way I am, it's just the way we are
|
It's just a nervous flickering of old flames
|
|
Now everybody wears the look of the child who wished to marry you
|
Who, knocking proudly on your door, was greeted by your pretty wife
|
If this is life make no mistake it keeps the weary world awake
|
|
Chance being a fine thing brought us together
|
But we're not magnets well not forever
|
It's just the way I am, it's just the way we are
|
It's just a nervous flickering of old flames
|
So don't you cry they're, they're only words
|
They're only the saddest thing you've ever heard
|
|
Now everybody wears the look of the child who wished to marry you
|
Who, knocking proudly on your door, was greeted by your pretty wife
|
If this is life make no mistake it keeps the weary world awake
