Lyrics

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 calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
When something goes wrong
Oh, I'm the first to admit it
I'm the first to admit it
The last one to know, oh-oh-oh
When something goes right
Well, it's likely to lose me, mm, mm-mm-mm
It's apt to confuse me
Because it's such an unusual sight, oh-oh-oh
I can't, I can't get used to something so right
Something so right
Well, they got a wall in China
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners
They made it strong
And I 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
Oh, I'm the first to admit it
I'm the first to admit it
The last one to know, oh-oh-oh
When something goes right
Well, it's likely to lose me, mm, mm-mm-mm
It's apt to confuse me
Because it's such an unusual sight, oh-oh-oh
I swear, 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 never say those words
I love you
But like a child they're longing
To be told
Mm-mm-mm, mm, mm
When something goes wrong
Oh, I'm the first to admit it
I'm the first to admit it
The last one to know, oh-oh-oh
When something goes right
Well, it's likely to lose me, mm, mm-mm-mm
It's apt to confuse me
Because it's such an unusual sight, oh-oh-oh
I swear, I can't get used to something so right
Something so right
