They both swear they met by chance He liked the band, she liked to dance They were in love at their first glance Mamihlapinatapai
All that summer, no matter what they did You could always see them with her hand in his They almost said it once, but God forbid Mamihlapinatapai
Chorus Funny how the patterns of our well-laid plans Tangle our way Scared that we'd unravel if we said the words We never say Mamihlapinatapai
We can't say what's in our hearts Our minds keep saying "Is this smart?" But our eyes ask "Can't we start?" Mamihlapinatapai
Chorus
They were married yesterday Two lovers danced the night away Words could never touch what their eyes convey No, words can't touch what their eyes say Mamihlapinatapai....Mamihlapinatapai.....Mamihlapinatapai
