That frightening little sound its just the world awake
Its just a way of saying were in business
Its just a lightning strike, its just a family row
Its just the give and take of forgiveness

Chance being a fine thing brought us together
But were not magnets well not forever
Its just the way I am, its just the way we are
Its 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 were not magnets well not forever
Its just the way I am, its just the way we are
Its just a nervous flickering of old flames
So dont you cry theyre, theyre only words
Theyre only the saddest thing youve 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
