What if you took the long way down
To your favorite cafe on the
East side of town
And you get stuck at the light
So you turn down a side street
That you couldn't drive down
'Cause it's a saturday swap meet
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
La la
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
La la, oooh
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
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
La la
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
La la, oooh
If you're 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
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
La la
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
La la, oooh
What if you talked
Till 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
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
La la
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
Oo la la,
La la, oooh
