Well it was all worked out from here to Oklahoma
All mapped out across the Tappan Zee
All laid out like dresses at the tailor's
Someone's groom and someone's bride-to-be
But you walked up and you changed the conversation
Quite profoundly you rocked my point of view
And here I am still straightening the paintings
Working my mind overtime on you
Well how would it be
If I said yes to you
How would I find
The strength to pull me through it
And how would it feel
If I got next to you
Well I don't know
But I know I'm gonna, mm-hmm
Now when storm clouds roll they roll from one direction
West to east they roll up against the moon
But you I swear I did not see this coming
And I do not see it moving on too soon
And God devised a mighty mighty heavy magnet
To draw the world up together man and wife
But someone must have slipped you some exemption
To throw this mighty wrench into my life
Well how would it be
If I said yes to you
How would I find
The strength to pull me through it
And how would it feel
If I got next to you
Well I don't know
But I know I'm gonna
That's right
Yeah
Well how would it be
If I said yes to you
How would I find
The strength to pull me through it
How would it feel
If I got next to you
Well I don't know
But I know I'm gonna
That's right, that's right
Well I don't know
But I know I'm a-gonna
Mm-hmm
I know I'm a-gonna go home
Oh I know
I know I'm a-gonna go home
I know
I know I know I can't
I can't help myself
Oh no with you I'm going
