Make A Match
Make a match, make a match,
Find a heart before the night is through!
Make a match, make a match,
Someone’s waiting just for you!
Mothers whisper, fathers stare,
Everyone is choosing who they’ll pair.
Round and round the ballroom floor,
Everybody wants a little more.
There he is, another smile,
Another gentleman with something to prove.
They tell me he’s a perfect choice,
But what exactly makes him right for me?
He’s charming, wealthy, well-connected,
Mother says he’s everything I need.
But when he asks me what I want,
He doesn’t seem to hear me speak.
Make a match! Make a match!
Put two hearts together and hope they catch!
Make a match! Make a match!
Find a little fortune and a perfect name!
Dance to the left,
Dance to the right,
Everybody’s looking for a match tonight!
Make a match!
Make a match!
My mother found another lady,
Beautiful, polite, exactly as planned.
She knows my family’s expectations,
And she’s already reaching for my hand.
But across the room I see a woman Who doesn’t look impressed
at all.
She isn’t chasing every title,
She doesn’t care who’s watching from the wall.
I don’t even know her name… But somehow I keep looking back.
Why does everyone decide Who I should love?
Why does everyone decide Who I should choose?
Maybe there’s another way…
Maybe there’s something they don’t know.
Make a match! Make a match!
Put two hearts together and hope they catch!
Make a
match!
Make a match!
Find a little fortune and a perfect name!
Dance to the left,
Dance to the right,
Everybody’s looking for a match tonight!
Make a match! Make a match!
I feel his eyes across the room… I wonder if she’s looking
too… I shouldn’t care.
I shouldn’t stare.
So why can’t I look away?
Choose a name! Choose a house!
Choose a fortune! Choose a spouse!
But what if my heart chooses first?
What if the wrong choice
Is the one they expect?
Make a match! Make a match!
Tonight somebody’s heart is going to catch!
Dance to the left,
Dance to the right,
Everyone is searching for a match tonight!
Make a match! Make a match!
But maybe love
Can’t be arranged… Maybe one look Can change the game!
(Make a match…)
(Make a match…)
Maybe I should meet him.
Maybe I should meet her.
Good evening. Good evening.
May I have this dance?
…I suppose you may. (Oh…)
