Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've got the cool water
When the fever runs high
And you've got the look of love right in your eyes
And I was in a crazy motion
Till you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
[Verse 2]
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 they're longing to be told
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 even see
It took a little time
To get next to me
[Verse 3]
If something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
The first to admit it
But the last one to know
If something goes right
Oh well, it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me because it's such an unusual sight
Oh, I can't get used to something so right
To something so right
[Verse 4]
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 I'm longing to be told
And they've got a wall in China
Mmm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I've got a wall around me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It took a little time
To get next to me
