she said, don't go
as I was walking along the road
he said, I won't
and I was laughing the whole way home
it's the same old song and dance
and they only know how to sing
it's a duplicate romance
and love is a funny thing
we're all making it up as we go!
I don't know when
you should think about settling
but I know better than
to assume I know anything
at all-- it's an awkward song and dance
and I only know how to sing
but if I figured it all out
I'd be living like a king
we're all making it up as we go!
so, whaddyaknow...?
she said, I'll go
when she wanted to cut and run
he said, you won't
said she wouldn't find anyone
well, it's the same old song and dance
but you can't sing worth a damn
you missed out on that chance
on taking me as I am
we're all making it up as we go!
so, whaddyaknow...?
