We should meet ‘cause everyone says we should
You and me, the perfect companions and
Oh, how great, a double date dinner
But I think I know how this will go
The romance that never was

You were there and I showed up later on
You were gone so I let the meter run on and on
But you never came along
I think I know how this will go
The romance that never was

I bet you’ll be in Paris
And I’ll be in Rome
We’ll never meet because
By the time you’re in Rome
I’ll be at home
It’s the romance that never was

You and me may never find out just what we could be
Two ships on an ocean or just maybe
A match made in heaven but
I think I know how this will go
The romance that never was

[chorus]
