[Verse 1]
Are you feeling alright?
It's easy, we've been there before
But it feels like the flight
Of the von Trapps, does that mean it's war?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no
From my head to my toes
I'm in love with you
Do you think it shows?
[Verse 2]
We're meant to be friends
That's what it says in the script
Is it really the end
If, sometimes, I stray just a bit?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no
It should be poetry, not prose
I'm in love with you
Do you think it shows?
[Chorus]
And everyone knows when they look at us
'Course they do, it must be obvious
I never told you, now I suppose
That you're the only one who doesn't know
[Verse 3]
You were different when
We met in an ordinary way
I didn't intend
To interrupt your own shadow play
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no
I won't upset the status quo
I'm in love with you
Do you think it shows?
[Chorus]
And everyone knows when they look at us
'Course they do, it must be obvious
You've never asked me, and I'm surprised
That you're the only one who hasn't tried
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Everyone knows when they look at us
'Course they do, it must be obvious
I never asked you, now I suppose
That you're the only one who doesn't know
[Outro]
Oh, when they look at us
"It must be obvious"
Ooh
Are you feeling alright?
It's easy, we've been there before
But it feels like the flight
Of the von Trapps, does that mean it's war?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no
From my head to my toes
I'm in love with you
Do you think it shows?
[Verse 2]
We're meant to be friends
That's what it says in the script
Is it really the end
If, sometimes, I stray just a bit?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no
It should be poetry, not prose
I'm in love with you
Do you think it shows?
[Chorus]
And everyone knows when they look at us
'Course they do, it must be obvious
I never told you, now I suppose
That you're the only one who doesn't know
[Verse 3]
You were different when
We met in an ordinary way
I didn't intend
To interrupt your own shadow play
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh no
I won't upset the status quo
I'm in love with you
Do you think it shows?
[Chorus]
And everyone knows when they look at us
'Course they do, it must be obvious
You've never asked me, and I'm surprised
That you're the only one who hasn't tried
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Everyone knows when they look at us
'Course they do, it must be obvious
I never asked you, now I suppose
That you're the only one who doesn't know
[Outro]
Oh, when they look at us
"It must be obvious"
Ooh
