Suddenly I'm famous, And people know my name. I've got a thousand girls just waiting, And therefore it's a shame That my heart has been captured By your funny little smile. And finally I'm happy, If only for a while. People call me stupid, For treating you like a queen. But I don't even worry, 'Cause you're my unforeseen And I hope that you'll be with me, If only in my dreams. But here you are next to me, And you're glad, or so it seems. [Chorus] And I don't know for sure Where this is going. Still I hope for more, and more. 'Cause who would know that you Would treat me like a boy, And I treat you like a girl, In this funny little world. Don't promise me for ever, Just love me day by day. No one knows the future, We're young, but that's OK. 'Cause you'll always be a part of me, Whatever life will bring. And people have to bear with you, This silly song I sing. Your boyfriends might be angry, My girlfriends might be blue. But no one can deny it, From now on I love you. I have to say it's new to me, This feeling in my heart. Guess I've been kind of lonely, And you've been kind of smart. [Chorus: x2] This funny little world.
