Lyrics

  1. I’m so glad we had this understanding
    Because we’re both acting strange
    We both need a change
    Maybe love has made us too demanding
    So sweetheart, I think it best
    That we put love to the test

Chorus
You try somebody else
I’ll try somebody else
And when we do, we’ll both be blue
And be back together again
You try painting the town
I’ll try acting the clown
We’ll travel fast, but it won’t last
We’ll be back together again
Let’s take our fun where we find it
I know deep down in my heart
If I were meant for you
If you were meant for me
Nothing can keep us apart
So you try somebody else
I’ll try somebody else
It won’t take long
To find we’re wrong
We’ll be back together again

  1. Looks as if our love has started swaying
    And if it’s just that we doubt
    We must find it out
    Call a holiday without delaying
    I’m sure we’ll both find it fair
    Find out if we really care
