She had already half-decided, this just forced her hand.
“I’ll never fall again,” she confided, that’s not in the plan.
Then something happened, her plans fell apart. 
Love found its way to her heart.

He had not given it much thought at all; he’d failed at love before.
Confident that he’d never fall, then she walked thru that door.
Then something happened, he knew right from the start.  
Love found its way to his heart.

And it surprised them both, they thought they never could.
They both thought love was dead – but they were wrong – misunderstood.
Second time around – there’ll be a brand-new look, a brand-new sound.
You’ll have to hold on tight to keep your feet on the ground, second time.
Second time you’ll see a different attitude, a new philosophy.
You’ll find the door’s unlocked – love is the key – second time.

They never thought love would happen again; what was, was no   more.
But they both left a crack, undetected, and love walked thru that door.
Then something happened, took their breath    away.  
This time love came to stay.

And it surprised them both, they thought they never would.
They both thought love was dead – but they were wrong – misunderstood.
Second time around – there’ll be a brand-new look, a brand-new sound.
You’ll have to hold on tight to keep your feet on the ground, second time.
Second time you’ll see a different attitude, a new philosophy.
You’ll find the door’s unlocked – love is the key – second time.
