Words & music by paul simon

You've got the cool water

When the fever runs high
You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion

'til you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down


When something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it

I'm the first to admit it
And the last one to know


When something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
It's apt to confuse me

It's such an unusual sight
Oh, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
Something so right


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




When something goes wrong

I'm the first to admit it
I'm the first to admit it
And the last one to know

When something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
It's apt to confuse me

Because it's such an unusual sight
Oh, I can't, 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 they're longing to be told, mm


When something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it

I'm the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right

Well it's likely to lose me, mm
It's apt to confuse me
Because it's such an unusual sight

I swear, I can't, I can't get used to something so right
Something so right
