One dumb thing

Is how it starts

One dumb thing

Is all it takes

One dumb thing

Leads to another

One dumb thing

Is how it started

One dumb thing

Is all he said

One dumb thing

Led to another

Now it's over 'cause of

One dumb thing

A glance, a stance

A broken romance

A disconnected telephone

What's behind it?

How to define it?

Makes the world go around

And around

And around

One dumb thing

Is how it started

One dumb thing

Is all she did

One dumb thing

Led to another

One dumb thing

Is the beginning

One dumb thing

It never ends

One dumb thing

Goes right on making

More and more of

One dumb thing

A glance, a stance

A broken romance

A disconnected telephone

What's behind it?

How to define it?

Makes the world go around

And around

And around
