How We Met
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)
