How We Met

(Tommy L. Day)

A lighthearted, uptempo song with a swinging rhythm. About two lovers who are frantically wondering just how they will explain the circumstances of their meeting to their family and friends.

(v1) We’ve got ourselves in an awful bind Our loving was the modern kind Oh yeah, and it’s gonna show (v2) Girl, we’d better get our stories straight They won’t believe it was simply fate Oh no, they’ll want to know (Chorus) What are we going to say What are we going to do When they ask you how we met And how can we explain How can we wriggle free When they ask me how we met (v3) Well baby, they’ll say that it was wrong But a lonely soul’s gotta get along Somehow, you know that it’s so (Chorus) What are we going to say What are we going to do When they ask you how we met And how can we explain How can we wriggle free When they ask me how we met (Bridge 1) Maybe we’ll tell them we crossed paths At the old cafe or a Sunday mass Or you were a long-lost friend to me Anything but the reality (Instrumental) (Chorus) What are we going to say What are we going to do When they ask you how we met And how can we explain How can we wriggle free When they ask me how we met (Bridge 2) Gonna need an airtight alibi Hope they don't see through the lie 'Cos we would never live it down If the truth they ever found (v1) We’ve got ourselves in an awful bind Our loving was the modern kind Oh yeah, and it’s gonna show (v2) Girl, we’d better get our stories straight They won’t believe it was simply fate Oh no, they’ll want to know (Chorus What are we going to say What are we going to do When they ask you how we met And how can we explain How can we wriggle free When they ask me how we met (Coda) When they ask us how we met When they ask us how we met When they ask us how we met (Fade out)
