Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It might be impractical to seek out a new romance
We won't know the actual if we never take the chance
I'd like to collapse with you and ease you against this song
I think we're compatible, I see that you think I'm wrong, but
[Verse 2]
Anytime will do, my love
Anytime will do
No choice of words will break me from this rule
Anytime will do, my love
Anytime will do
What choice of words will take me back to you?
[Verse 3]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 4]
Your love makes a fool of you, you can't seem to understand
A heart doesn't play by rules and love has it's own demands
But I'll be there to take care of you if ever you should decide
That you don't want to waste your life In the middle of a lovesick lullaby, but
[Verse 5]
Anytime will do, my love
Anytime will do
No choice of words will break me from this rule
Anytime will do, my love
Anytime will do
The choicest words will take me back to you
[Verse 6]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 7]
Oh, my reddest rose, caldera, set it off
How your fire grows, hermosa, caldera
Glistening through your fuséd blows, cariño, caldera
Set it off, as your body flows the second hand flashes
Passes over your skin like time
[Verse 8]
Anytime will do, my love
Anytime will do, my love
Anytime will do, my love
Anytime will do, my love
[Verse 9]
Anytime will do
No choice of words will break me from this rule
Anytime will do
No choice of words will break me from this rule
Anytime will do
No choice of words will break me from this rule
Anytime will do
What choice of words will take me back to you?
[Verse 10]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
