Something So Right
This one is different from other musics I like, because it’s one of the few where I first paid attention to the lyrics, and because of them I later decided that the song too was beautiful.
A Tribute to Annie Lennox
Some people never say the words
“I love you”
It’s not their style to be so bold
Some people never say the words
“I love you”
But like a child they’re longing to be
told
They’ve got a wall in China
It’s a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners
They made it strong
And I’ve got a wall around me
That you can’t even see
It took a little time
To get next to me
If something goes wrong, I’m the first
to admit it
The first to admit it - but the last one
to know
If something goes right, well, it’s likely
to lose me
It’s apt to confuse me
Because it’s such an unusual sight, oh
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 the words
“I love you”
But like a child I’m longing to be told
They’ve got a wall in China...
And I’ve got a wall around me...
Yea
It took a little time
To get next to me
You’ve got the cool water
When the fever runs high
And you’ve got the look of love right
in your eyes
And I was in a crazy motion
‘Till you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
