Put a bow upon the door
Sweep a glass out of the street
Lay a mattress on the floor
Secure the ground beneath your feet
'Cause love is an accident
Waiting to happen
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
Somebody to lift and hold your tongue
And be so careful what you say
Play the beat with muffled drum
And send the party guests away
’Cause love is an accident
Waiting to happen
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
So don't you play that awful song
The one that cannot be unheard
The one that feels so right it must be wrong
But still you sing along to every word
'Cause love is an accident
Waiting to happen
To me and to you
Love is an accident
Waiting to happen
And accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
