Lyrics
I don’t fall for all those pretty stories
That tell the tale of love at first sight
For it’s the second time you meet that matters
How can you tell in one night?
I don’t buy those first enchanted evenings
Or songs that say “It’s love at a glance”
For it’s the second time you meet that matters
Love is no one shot romance
But on that first night that I saw you I trembled
I felt a thrill when you walked in the door
I waited and then saw you again
I felt the same thrill, only more
So never trust that first electric moment
That magic switch that turns on the heat
For though you think you’ve found the one who matters
You’ll never know till the second time you meet
