Oo La La

What if you took the long way down
To your favorite cafe on the east side of town?
And you got stuck at the light
So you turn down a side street
But you couldn't drive down 'cause it's a Saturday swap meet

O la la, o la la, o la la, la la
O la la, o la la, o la la, la la o

So you get out of your car
And you walk through the crowd
You bargain for a teapot in the shape of an owl
So you walk and you walk and you walk to the coffee shop

O la la, o la la, o la la, la la
O la la, o la la, o la la, la la o

You feel lonely and shy
But you take the empty seat next to the cute guy

What if he smiled when you asked for the time?
Your pen wouldn't write, so he said, "Take mine"
When your coffee got cold, he bought you another
You didn't know it yet, but you were meant for each other

O la la, o la la, o la la, la la
O la la, o la la, o la la, la la o

What if you talked 'til it was time to go?
He said, "See you around"
And you said, "Who knows?"
But you knew in your heart
That you'd see him again
After walking down a side street coming from a new direction

O la la, o la la, o la la, la la
O la la, o la la, o la la, la la o
