Calling all cars (REPEAT)



I never thought that

I could feel this way

You came around and

Brought about a change in me



I was a typical guy

You came along and blew my mind

You were runnin' fast

I was runnin' slow

Everybody said that it would not work

Love came and set me free

You were standing there to rescue me

Love caught it, we thought

Why can't we be in love, well



Why, it's no crime

If I'm guilty of love

Let me do my time

Why, it's no crime

Everybody needs love

And baby (so do I)



You never thought love

Came so easily

No doubt about it

Never in your dreams, no way



You were a typical girl

You came along and changed my world

I walk slow

You walk fast

Everybody said that it could not last

Love came inside of me

Never knew how good our love could be

Love caught it, we thought

Why can't we be in love, well



HOOK



I've spent half a lifetime

Waiting for someone

You say I know it was you

They don't recommend it

I don't understand it

I've been reprimanded

'Cause I'm in love with you



Calling all cars (REPEAT)



You were a typical girl

You came along and changed my world

I walk slow

You walk fast

Everybody said that it could not last

Love came inside of me

Never knew how good our love could be

Love caught it, we thought

Why can't we be in love, well



Why, why



So do I, so do I

So do I, so do I

Oh so do I



HOOK with ad lib



Why
