| What if you took the long way down
|
| To your favorite cafe on the east side of town?
|
| And you got stuck at the light
|
| So you turn down a side street
|
| But you couldn’t drive down 'cause it’s a Saturday swap meet
|
| Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo
|
| So you get out of your car
|
| And you walk through the crowd
|
| You bargain for a teapot in the shape of an owl
|
| So you walk and you walk and you walk to the coffee shop
|
| Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo
|
| You feel lonely and shy
|
| But you take the empty seat next to the cute guy
|
| What if he smiled when you asked for the time?
|
| Your pen wouldn’t write, so he said, «Take mine»
|
| When your coffee got cold, he bought you another
|
| You didn’t know it yet, but you were meant for each other
|
| Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo
|
| What if you talked 'til it was time to go?
|
| He said, «See you around»
|
| And you said, «Who knows?»
|
| But you knew in your heart
|
| That you’d see him again
|
| After walking down a side street coming from a new direction
|
| Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la Oo la la, oo la la, oo la la, la la oo |
