Lyrics[]
[Intro]
I run to you
You run to me
I run to you
You run to me
I run to you (I run to you)
You run to me
I run to you (I run to you)
You run to me
[Verse 1]
What good's sitting at home
All alone on the shelf?
If you want to find romance
You've got to find it yourself
The someone I'm waiting for
Is somewhere waiting for me
So somewhere is the place I've really got to be
Lots of fish in the sea
But you need the right bait
To hook a tall, and tan, and, young and handsome
Saturday mate
I'll go pick out a dress
Something sexy, but smart
Gotta catch his eye to capture his heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta make it easier to notice me there
You may not get a second try
Mr. Right may be passing you by
Don't you sit there, get him
While the getting is good!
[Chorus]
Boy meets girl
It happens all the time
Suddenly it hits you, with no reason or rhyme
Fall in love
Do you believe in miracles?
Listen to the god of romance
[Verse 2]
Take this sexy young me
Into a trendy new club
Where the young and rich and famous bring their elbows to rub
But in the elegant throngs
I feel my confidence sink
I think I need a very alcoholic drink
So then I pour down a gin
And ask for more of the same
I hear a gentle voice say, "Thank you, madam, what is your name?"
I pick my head off the bar
And see him smiling at me
And all at once, I feel I own the earth and sea
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Do you see the way that he looks into my eyes?
My heart is beating wild
Says, "Here's your change," and touches my hand
And I'm reeling, reeling
Feelings I've never known
[Chorus]
Boy meets girl
Could happen anywhere
And before you know it, you are walking on air
Fall in love
It's happy even after
Listen to the god of romance
[Post-Chorus]
I wandered out and checked my horoscope today
It said my lucky stars were out toni-ight
And that a person's gonna come into my life
And love me, and be with me now
Tomorrow, and then forever more...
Oh yeah!
