(G. Reverbel / Bardotti / Paul Samwell-Smith)
Paff... bum,
Thats the sound of love.
Paff... bum,
That's the way love goes.
Paff... bum,
Well, I met you yesterday, yeah.
Paff... bum,
And now you've gone away.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
Now you've gone,
I just don't care.
There will be,
Another waiting there.
Paff... bum,
Thats the sound of love.

Well, that's the way love goes.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
Now you've gone,
I just don't care.
There will be,
Another waiting there.
Paff... bum,
There'll be more tomorrow, yeah.
Paff... bum,
Well, that's the way love goes.
