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
Well it's likely to lose me, mmm
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
Same as Verses before:
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
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
It's apt to confuse me
Because 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 never say the 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
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
It's apt to confuse me
Because it's such an unusual sight
I swear, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
Something so right
