Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

Ooh, sometimes

[Verse 2]

Romantic Piscean seeks angel in disguise

Chinese-speaking girlfriend, big brown eyes

Liverpudlian lady, sophisticated male

Hello, partner, tell me love can't fail

[Verse 3]

And it's you and me in the summertime

We'll be hand in hand down in the park

With a squeeze and a sigh and that twinkle in your eye

And all that sunshine banishes the dark

[Verse 4]

Some people wind up with the one that they abhor

In a distant hell hole room, this third world war

But all I see is films where a colorless despair

Meant angry young men with immaculate hair

Oh, sometimes

[Verse 5]

"Get up," a voice inside says

There's no time for looking down

Only a pound a word and you're talking to the town

And how do you coin the phrase though

That will set your soul apart, just to touch a lonely heart?

[Verse 6]

And it's you and me in the summertime

And we'll be hand in hand down in the park

With a squeeze and a sigh and that twinkle in your eye

And all the sunshine banishes the dark

[Verse 7]

And 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?

[Verse 8]

How does it happen?

How does it happen?

How does it happen?

And is this how it happens?
