Lyrics:
It's oh so quiet, it's oh so still
You're all alone and so peaceful until
You fall in love, zing boom!
The sky up above, zing boom!
Is caving in, wow bam!
You've never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh, you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die
'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet
But soon again
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse, zing boom!
The devil cuts loose, zing boom!
So what's the use, wow bam!
Of falling in love
It's oh so quiet, it's oh so still
You're all alone and so peaceful until
You ring the bell, bim bam!
You shout and you yell, hi ho ho!
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is gorge and I got hit
There's no mistake cause this is it
'Til it's over and then
It's nice and quiet
But soon again
Starts another big riot
You blow a fuse, zing boom!
The devil cuts loose, zing boom!
What's the use, wow bam!
Of falling in love
The sky caves in, the devil cuts loose
You blow, blow, blow, blow, blow your fuse
When you've fallen in love
