it never happens to me
it takes too much time
it never happens to me
and I try so hard
oh yeah,
noisy town
oh yeah
calls me out once again
it never happens to me
wrong places wrong times
it never happens to me
oh yeah,
what a night
for once I'll leave my troubles home
one last glass of wine
and I leave my world behind
the air is warm outside
ready for love at first sight
it never happens to me
but I take my chance.
