Something So Right lyrics

Words music By Paul Simon

You've got the cool water
When the fever runs high
You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
'Til you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down

Something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
First to admit it
Last one to know
Something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me
It's such an unusual sight
Oh, I can't, can't get used to something so right
Something so right

They've got a wall in China
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
I've got a wall around me
That you can't even see
It took a little time
To get next to me

Something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
First to admit it
Last one to know
Something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me
It's such an unusual sight
Oh, I swear, 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 those words "I love you"
Like a child they're longing to be told

Something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
First to admit it
Last one to know
Something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me
'cause it's such an unusual sight
I swear I can't, can't get used to something so right
Something so right
