Love At First Sight
John Mellencamp Lyrics

Let's suppose you lived over here
Imagine if you lived in closer vicinity

Let's suppose I lived right over there
Suppose if I lived nearby

Let's suppose we shared a kiss
Consider if we kissed one another

On a night like this
During a similar evening

Let's suppose we went too far
Imagine if we became intimate

In the back seat of your car
In the rear portion of your vehicle

Let's suppose we fell in love
Consider the idea that we became enamored

Like two turtle doves
Just like a pair of lovebirds

And let's suppose we got engaged
Suppose we agreed to get married

Underneath that ol' Milky Way
Beneath the stars on a clear night

And let's suppose we were complete
Assume we were entirely fulfilled

Wouldn't that be sweet
Wouldn't that be nice

And let's suppose we found happiness
Consider if we discovered joy

And built ourselves a nest
And created a place to call home

Let's supposed we had five kids
Imagine we had five children

Like our grandparents did
As our predecessors once did

And let's suppose our dreams came true
Suppose everything we wished for happened

Just like they're supposed to do
Exactly how we expected things to turn out

And let's suppose we spent the rest of our lives together
Consider if we lived out the rest of our days as a couple

But let's suppose sometimes we'd fight
Suppose there were times when we argued

When things weren't going right
When things were difficult

Let's suppose you got tired of me
Imagine if you grew weary of me

And our family
And our children

And let's suppose that we went broke
Suppose we became financially destitute

And we both just gave up hope
And we both lost all optimism

And let's suppose you left in a huff
Imagine if you left abruptly and angrily

Because you didn't love me enough
Because your affection for me waned

And let's supposed you found another man
Suppose if you discovered someone else

And hit me in the head with a frying pan
And hit me in the head with a frying pan

And let's suppose I wound up dead
Suppose if my life ended

Underneath the bed
Underneath the piece of furniture

What would happen to the kids
What would occur to our offspring

After all that we did
After everything we've been through

Let's suppose we both better just think it over
Maybe it's best if we carefully consider everything

So I suppose it's just hello
So I guess it's just greetings

And that it's time for us to go
And it's time for us to depart

We got a little ahead of ourselves
We got carried away with our thoughts

Like everybody else
Just like everyone else does

Maybe some other time
Perhaps another time

I suppose that'd be just fine
I assume that would be suitable

So until we meet again
So until we cross paths once again

I suppose we're just friends
I guess we're just friends

But remember what they say
But recall what people say

Cause it happens every day
Because it transpires every day

I believe in love at first sight
I have faith in instant love

So there, I said it
So, I finally admitted it

Good night
Goodbye
