Somebody's Gonna Fall in Love

(ooh-wah,

ooh-wah)

She sat alone beside the band,

A paper cup held in her hand,

I tipped my hat and gave a grin,

She looked right past me at the violin.

I said, "Miss, may I have this dance?"

She said, "You haven't got a chance."

I laughed and said,

"Now, don't be cruel."

She said,

"Then quit behaving like a fool."

I tried my smile,

I tried my charm,

She folded both her pretty arms.

I said, "Somebody's gonna lose their heart."

She said, "Then maybe you should start." Somebody's gonna fall in love

tonight,

Somebody's gonna hold on tight,

Somebody's gonna hear that band

And reach across to take a hand.

Oh, somebody's gonna lose their cool,

Forget the lines and break the rules,

Somebody's gonna fall in love— I just hope that somebody's you.

(ooh-wah, ooh-wah)

She said,

"You always talk this much?"

I said,

"Only when I'm out of luck."

She laughed so hard she spilled her drink,

And suddenly I couldn't think.

We talked about her little town,

The books she read,

the trains she'd found,

She told me things I'd never heard,

And I forgot my next three words.

The drummer counted off a tune,

She said, "They're closing pretty soon."

I said, "There's something I should do."

She smiled and said,

"I'm waiting on you."

Somebody's gonna fall in love tonight,

Somebody's gonna hold on tight,

Somebody's gonna hear that band

And reach across to take a hand.

Oh, somebody's gonna lose their cool,

Forget the lines and break the rules,

Somebody's gonna fall in love—

I just hope that somebody's you.

I've danced with girls from coast to coast,

I've made a thousand foolish boasts,

But standing here without a line,

I'm hoping you'll take your time.

She took my hand and whispered low,

"There's something you oughta know.

You said somebody's falling,

dear—

I think he's already here."

Somebody's gonna fall in love tonight,

And everything is feeling right,

Somebody's gonna hear that band And never wanna leave your hand.

Oh, somebody's gonna lose their cool,

Forget the lines and break the rules,

Somebody's gonna fall in love— And darling,

that somebody's me!

"Well...

would you look at that."
