Lyrics

VERSE
I was not getting any younger, so I went on one of those sites
I had heard all the stories, and, man, they were, oh, so right
I’m sure most all of my matches could be seen in a very good light
But I was looking for someone special; mmm, a breathtaking sight

VERSE
It's true when you get this age, you know what you want
But even more important, you also know what you don't
Yes, some of them were this, but they just weren’t that
I knew it would be hard to find a perfect match

PRE-CHORUS
Then one night when the looking had just about worn me out
There she was, yes, sir; with one look, there was no doubt
And then when she was this and also that...

CHORUS
It was too good to be true, so I messaged her right away
I was extremely pleased when she got right back in touch
She’d had the same reaction; OMG, our lucky day
Sometimes life really works; yes, for us it was real love

SOLO/VERSE
It did not take very long ’til we were talking on the phone
An hour, then two or three, and in a very short time we knew
Someone would be on a plane; life in the very fast lane
And, when we, as they say, “hooked up,” we knew it was love

Repeat CHORUS (2x)/TAG
You know, sometimes, life really works
