Do do do do do do do do do do I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things What she wears, what she wears, what she wears. Birds singing on my shoulder, in harmony it seems How they sing, how they sing how they sing. Give me nights of solitude, Red wine just a glass or two, Reclined in a hammock on a balmy evening. I'll pretend that it's no thing There's a skip in my heart when I think Of you thinking of me babe I'm crazy over you. Ah ah ah ah ah ah There's something in the water, Something in the water Ah ah ah ah ah ah There's something in the water, That makes me love you like I've got halos made of summer, Ribbons made of spring What she wears, what she wears, what she wears. I've got crowns of words a'woven, Each one a song to sing Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing. Give me long days in the sun Preludes to the nights to come Previews of the mornings layin' in all lazy. Give me something fun to do Like a life of loving you Kiss me quick now baby I'm still crazy over you. Ah ah ah ah ah ah There's something in the water, Something in the water. Ah ah ah ah ah ah There's something in the water, That makes me love you like I do. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Give me nights of solitude Red wine just a glass or two Give me something fun to do. Ah ah ah ah ah ah There's something in the water, Something in the water. Ah ah ah ah ah ah There's something in the water, That makes me love you like I do. Ah ah ah ah ah ah There's something in the water, Something in the water. Ah ah ah ah ah ah There's something in the water, That makes me love you like I do do do do do do do do do do.
