( Back to bridge )

Lyrics :

You've got the cool water

When the fever runs high,

You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes,

And I was in crazy motion

'Til you calmed me down,

It took a little time,

But you calmed me down.

When something goes wrong,

I'm the first to admit it,

I'm the first to admit it,

And the last one to know.

When something goes right,

Oh it's likely to lose me, mm,

It's apt to confuse me,

It's such an unusual sight, oh

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 out the foreigners,

They made it strong,

And I've got a wall around me,

That you can't even see,

It took a little time,

To get next to me.

When something goes wrong,

I'm the first to admit it,

I'm the first to admit it,

And the last one to know.

When something goes right,

Oh it's likely to lose me, mm,

It's apt to confuse me,

It's such an unusual sight, 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 their style

To be so bold.

Some people nevber say those words,

"I love you,"

But like a child

They're longing to be told, mm

When something goes wrong,

I'm the first to admit it,

I'm the first to admit it,

And the last one to know.

When something goes right,

Oh it's likely to lose me, mm,

It's apt to confuse me,

It's such an unusual sight, oh

I swear I can't, I can't get used to

Something so right,

Something so right.
