Do do do do do do do do do do

I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears.
Birds singing on my shoulder, in harmony it seems
How they sing, how they sing how they sing.

Give me nights of solitude,
Red wine just a glass or two,
Reclined in a hammock on a balmy evening.

I'll pretend that it's no thing
There's a skip in my heart when I think
Of you thinking of me babe I'm crazy over you.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
Something in the water
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
That makes me love you like

I've got halos made of summer,
Ribbons made of spring
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears.
I've got crowns of words a'woven,
Each one a song to sing
Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing.

Give me long days in the sun
Preludes to the nights to come
Previews of the mornings layin' in all lazy.

Give me something fun to do
Like a life of loving you
Kiss me quick now baby I'm still crazy over you.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
Something in the water.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
That makes me love you like I do.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Give me nights of solitude
Red wine just a glass or two
Give me something fun to do.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
Something in the water.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
That makes me love you like I do.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
Something in the water.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
There's something in the water,
That makes me love you like I do do do do do do do do do do.
