[Verse 1]

Fun tickets in my pocket, visions in my brain

Grandfather always told me if I went down, I might never come back again

I studied the language tapes and I read all the books

Still nothing prepared me for my very first look

[Chorus 1]

It was my first look

Baby, that's all it took

Was my first look around

[Verse 2]

I think I want to go flyin', but I don't want to leave the ground

So I'll just cruise on my landing gear and taxi 'round Rio town

Up to the mountain, down to the sea

Take me to Leblon where the samba queen awaits for me

[Chorus 2]

It was my first look

That's when I swallowed the hook

On my first look around

[Bridge]

Amor a primeira vista

Voce nao, quer que o insista

Amor a primeira vista

Reacao quimica, quimica, quimica

Amor a primeira vista

Voce nao, quer que o insista

Amor a primeira vista

Reacao quimica, quimica, quimica

[Verse 3]

Six days later I was feeling like a missing link

When my friends told me, "Hey Jimmy, it must have been the hoodoo drink"

Now it's time for siestas and a belly full of rice and beans

And figure if I'm brave enough to repeat the whole crazy scene

[Chorus 2]

On my first look

That's when I swallowed the hook

On my first look

Around

[Bridge]

Amor a primeira vista

Voce nao, quer que o insista

Amor a primeira vista

Reacao quimica, quimica, quimica

Amor a primeira vista

Voce nao, quer que o insista

Amor a primeira vista

Reacao quimica, quimica, quimica
