Lyrics
It wasn’t chance that romance
Happened to come to me
No, I fear the situation is plain
For ev’ry day in some way
Where I was you would be
I suspect you planned the whole campaign
Chorus
Accident’ly on purpose
You paused while passing by
Accident’ly on purpose
You tried to catch my eye
You made that chance remark
That the day was mild
And let me ask you incident’ly
Was it accident’ly that you smiled?
Accident’ly on purpose
You let me hold your hand
You did it on purpose
You had the whole thing planned
You thought that you were smart
But sweetheart
I wasn’t fooled at all
Accident’ly on purpose
I made you fall
