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
