Something So Right - Paul Simon

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

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 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

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

Something so right

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

They’ve got a wall in China

And I’ve got a wall around me It took a little time

To get next to me
