Do some people wind up with the one that they adore In a heart-shaped hotel room it's what a heart is for The bubble floats so madly will it stay sky-high? Hello partner Kiss your name bye-bye Sometimes... Romantic Piscean seeks angel in disguise Chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes Liverpudlian lady sophisticated male Hello partner Tell me love can't fail & it's you & me in the summertime We'll be hand in hand down in the park With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye & all the sunshine banishes the dark Do some people wind up with the one that they abhor In a distant hell-hole room third world war But all I see is films where a colourless despair Meant angry young men with immaculate hair Sometimes... Get up a voice inside says there's no time for looking down Only a pound a word & you're talking to the town But how do you coin the phrase though that will set your soul apart? Just to touch A lonely heart & it's you & me in the summertime We'll be hand in hand down in the park With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye & all the sunshine banishes the dark & it's you I need in the summertime As I turn my white skin red Two peas from the same pod yes we are Or have I read too much fiction? Is this how it happens?
