Uh Oh

Wait, wait for the moment to come.
Stand up, stand up and take my hand.
Believe, believe in mystery
Love, love is simple as 1-2-3.
I'm a know-it-all, I'm the smartest man around,
That's right, you learn real fast
you the smartest girl in town, so:
Here come a riddle, here come a clue...
If you are really smart,
you'll know what to do...when I say:

Jump back, sit back, get back, relax...it's ok.
I called in sick, I won't go to work today.
I'd rather be with the one I love...
I neglect my duties...I'll be in trouble...but
I been to college, I been to school
I'm not the people
that read about in books...so:
Here come a riddle, here come a clue...
If you are really smart,
you'll know what to do (when I say)
Jet pilot gone out of control,
ship captain run aground,
Stockbroker make a bad investment,
when love has come to town.

Where, where is my common sense?
How did I get in a jam like this?
Believe, believe in mystery
Love, love is simple as 1-2-3.
Here come a riddle, here come a clue...
If you are really smart,
you'll know what to do (when I say)
Why am I going out of my head
whenever you're around?
The answer is obvious...
love has come to town.


Talking Heads - Uh Oh, Love Has Come To Town
