Love At First Sight


Oh, here we go
'Lifestyles' is on
I must go dance now
But wait, who's that?
Tanya, let me follow...
Oh, no, Tanya's dragged me away
Ah well
Off I go to dance...

I'm sad
Standing all alone
Tanya comes over
Hey Tanya!
What's wrong with me?
Oh, I'm just all alone
No one to love
Ye know?

There he is!
That guy!
Where's he goin?
"What about Michael?"
Tanya points...
To that guy!
She knows him!

"...talk to my friend?"
He comes over
DAMN, he's fine...
"Hey, I'm Michael.."
We talk and talk
"...in a band
...play guitar.."
I'm in heaven

So time passes by...
And back at the same place
'Lifestyles' comes on
There I go to dance
I turn around
There he is
Watching me

He has a camera in his hand
My camera
Taking pictures of me
His girlfriend
"Laura, LOOK"
Says Tanya
I turn to see him
Mouthing the words 'I love you'

And here I am
On my own
Listening to the same song
Waiting to be reunited
With the guy
I fell in love with
At first sight
