George Washington began a revoloution
which started something called the constitution
then all those pioneers with resoloution
progressed, due west

There's always someone finding a beginning
and Eve to tempt poor Adam into sinning
a doubleday to say three outs per inning
that's all, play ball

I was all through with romance
figured love was kaput
no more pretending, no happy ending
then like a bolt from the blue
you walked into my life
clever and charming, slightly alarming
just when I though that my love life was all past tense
suddenly you start making sense

I was prepared to simply call it a day
ready for love to turn the lights out
then all my reasons found your rhyme
in the nick of time
looks like you started something now

I wasn't ready for this
was content all alone
studio flat, sir, maybe a cat, sir
hey, this is now that was then
I'm in business again
using your razor, driving your blazer
just when I though my libido was fireproof
you fan my flames right through the roof

You are the lightening striking Ben Franklin's kite
you are the Kitty-Hawk of romance
you are Columbus setting out
'cause without a doubt
looks like you started something now

I sense a brand new beginning
something akin to break of day
you are the start of a new career
you're the crowing of Chanticleer
saying: "Wake up and smell the coffee"

I don't know where we're going or for how long
so I rely on fundamentals"
'cause if a kiss is still a kiss
let's not finish this
looks like you started something
you really started something
looks like you started something now
