Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Till you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
[Chorus]
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, 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
When something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
I'm the first to admit it
The last one to know
When something goes right
Oh, it's likely to lose me, mmm
It's apt to confuse me
Because it's such an unusual sight
Oh, I swear
I can't get used to something so right
Something so right
[Bridge]
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, mmm
[Chorus]
Something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
The first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Oh, it's likely to lose me, mmm
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
[Outro]
Something so right
Mmm
Oh, something so right
