[Verse 1]
Look at that, look at this
Drop a stone in the abyss
Then walk away and know that anything can happen
Just like that, just like this
[Verse 2]
Look at that, look at this
Give me a hug, give me a kiss
Then hey, and off to school we go
You might learn something, yeah, you never know
I love you so
[Verse 3]
Look at that, look at this
Lovers merge and make a wish
They close their eyes and now their dreams are legal
And on the horizon the eagles flies
Through clouds of fire, swoop and glide
You can't believe it, you can't decide
[Chorus]
Ask somebody to love you, takes a lot of nerve
Ask somebody to love you, you got a lot of nerve
Ask somebody to love you, takes a lot of nerve
Ask somebody to love you
[Verse 4]
Look at that, look at this
This is near enough to bliss
Then over the top we go and down, down to the bottom
If you're looking for worries, you got 'em
[Chorus]
Ask somebody to love you, takes a lot of nerve
Ask somebody to love you, you got a lot of nerve
[Verse 5]
Come awake, come alive
Common sense we survive
Then hey, hey, down the road we go
You might learn something, yeah, you never know
But anyway you've got to go
