Luigi Boccherini
Lyrics
VERSE 1
I wasn?t looking for nothing
Just some clubbing
A slamming night out in London
Till you come in
BRIDGE
I oughta stop but I can?t
Stop but I can?t
No I can?t
I?m hoping you understand
You understand
Understand
CHORUS
Cause when we?re done with our song
With nothing to say
As strangers again
We?re gonna have to move on
We?ll both walk away
As strangers again
CHORUS 2
Keep it going
Keep it going
Going
Keep it going
Keep it going
Going
VERSE 2
A moment of apprehension
Cut the tension
So obvious who was falling
Who was stalling
BRIDGE
CHORUS
CHORUS 2
MIDDLE 8
I shoulda known myself
Should have known that dancing wasn?t enough
I shoulda known myself
Should have known that I would end up in love
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
BRIDGE
CHORUS
