If we were in an MGM film
We would kiss and walk through that door there
If we were in a radio play
We'd admit we're friends, but there's more there
If we were singing Hammerstein songs
We could fix all the wrongs in rhyme
But this is life, with the heartache it brings
And we know that these things take time
If we were in a Hemingway book
We would laugh and drink till the morning
If this were a ballet, then I might sweep
You off your feet without warning
Or filmed noir with a dangerous affair
I would ask if you'd care to stay
But this is life, and I'm wondering if
We should play it a different way
Maybe perfect nights of celebration
Hotel hallway brief flirtations
Might be overrated
Life's more complicated
We could write our own take on it
Or leave well enough, alone
Shake on it
Shake on it
No one planned for a moment like this
There's no perfect script that provides us
Words to say or the answers that might
Overcome the past that divides us
Movie stars with the passions they feel
Somehow in the last reel unite
You know
That's right
But this is life, so at least for today
We should probably say, good night
We would kiss and walk through that door there
If we were in a radio play
We'd admit we're friends, but there's more there
If we were singing Hammerstein songs
We could fix all the wrongs in rhyme
But this is life, with the heartache it brings
And we know that these things take time
If we were in a Hemingway book
We would laugh and drink till the morning
If this were a ballet, then I might sweep
You off your feet without warning
Or filmed noir with a dangerous affair
I would ask if you'd care to stay
But this is life, and I'm wondering if
We should play it a different way
Maybe perfect nights of celebration
Hotel hallway brief flirtations
Might be overrated
Life's more complicated
We could write our own take on it
Or leave well enough, alone
Shake on it
Shake on it
No one planned for a moment like this
There's no perfect script that provides us
Words to say or the answers that might
Overcome the past that divides us
Movie stars with the passions they feel
Somehow in the last reel unite
You know
That's right
But this is life, so at least for today
We should probably say, good night
