The Opposite

Everybody knows that the world is round
And what goes up has got to come back down
Well, I wonder what everybody would do
If the opposite were only true

If the world were square and they also found
That what went up never did come down
It would be too good, just too good to be true
'Cause then you'd love me and I would love you

Ah, you'd be the one to beg for a date
And I'd be the one to show up late
You'd be the one to cry every night
And that would really serve you right

Ah, but the world is round, it's so very round
And what goes up has got to come back down
So until the day that the opposite's true
There is really nothing I can do
Oh, except to keep a-loving you

Ah, you'd be the one to beg for a date
And I'd be the one to show up late
You'd be the one to cry every night
And that would really serve you right

But the world is round, it's so very round
And what goes up has got to come back down
So until the day that the opposite's true
There is really nothing I can do
Oh, except to keep a-loving you

Mm, except to go on loving you
Well, I guess I'll keep a-loving you
I'm gonna keep a-loving you
Well, I guess I'll go on loving you
