Stacey Kent - Make It Up Lyrics

The history of love’s told
Every day in songs and books 

Like some big romantic kitchen
Filled with way too many cooks

Everyone has got a theory
An opinion or an angle 

And they treat them like they're precious diamonds Dangling from a bangle

I love you and you love me
And I can't tell you why 

You’d have thought by now we'd have figured out The reason and the rhyme
You love me and I love you
And it’s been this way so long 

That if we knew what we were doing
We'd be doing it all wrong 

So let's just make it up as we go along

I've tried to work it out myself,
I've tried to have a plan 

But I’ve always ended up alone,
Right back where I began
Now with you it's all so easy
There’s no reason to look down
So let's just keep on flying
With our heads up in the clouds

I love you and you love me
And I can't tell you why 

You’d have thought by now we'd have figured out
The reason and the rhyme
You love me and I love you
And it’s been this way so long 

That if we knew what we were doing
We'd be doing it all wrong 

So let's just make it up as we go along

It’s the unexpected gifts
That are the ones we hold most dear
So here's to happy accidents
And playing it by ear

I love you and you love me
And I can't tell you why 

You’d have thought by now we'd have figured out
The reason and the rhyme
You love me and I love you
And it’s been this way so long 

That if we knew what we were doing
We'd be doing it all wrong 

So let's just make it up as we go along
So let's just make it up as we go along
