Baby sneezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
So bewildering

I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willin' to play the game
It's comin' around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart (Broken heart)

Pay the grocer
You fix the toaster
You kiss the host goodbye
Then you break a window
Burn the soufflé
Scream the lullaby

I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willin' to play the game
It's comin' around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
So in love with you

I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willin' to play the game
It's comin' around again

(Baby sneezes)
(Mommy pleases)
(Daddy breezes in)
I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willin' to play the game
It will be comin' around again

(The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout)
(Down come the rain and washed the spider out)
(Out come the sun and dried up all the rain)
(And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again)

(The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout)
(Down come the rain and washed the spider out)
(Out come the sun and dried up all the rain)
(And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again)

I believe in love
Now who knows where or when
But it's comin' around again

(The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout)
(Down come the rain and washed the spider out)
(Out come the sun and dried up all the rain)
(And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again)

I know nothin' stays the same
But if you're willin' to play the game
It's comin' around again

(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider)
(The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout) (Comin' around again)
(Down come the rain and washed the spider out) (Down the rain came)
(Out come the sun and dried up all the rain)
(And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again)

(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider)
(Itsy bitsy spider) (Again)
