Something so right
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 see
It took a little time to get next to me
When something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it
I am the first to admit it and the last one to know
When something goes right, it's likely to lose me
It's (apt) to confuse me, such an unusual sight
Oh, I swear I swear 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 their longing to be told
Hmmm. . . when something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it
I am the first to admit it and the last one to know
When something goes right it's likely to lose me
It's (apt) to confuse me such an unusual sight oh I swear
I swear I can't get used to something so right, something so right
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 see
It took a little time to get next to me
When something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it
I am the first to admit it and the last one to know
When something goes right, it's likely to lose me
It's (apt) to confuse me, such an unusual sight
Oh, I swear I swear 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 their longing to be told
Hmmm. . . when something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it
I am the first to admit it and the last one to know
When something goes right it's likely to lose me
It's (apt) to confuse me such an unusual sight oh I swear
I swear I can't get used to something so right, something so right
