Joe Jackson Someone Up There
We walked out one autumn evening
Someone up there made a fair appear
Colored light that caught our eyes
And reggae music caught our ears
We laughed as they played all the songs
We wanted least of all to hear
I guess that's when I knew
That we'd be more than just good friends
It happened just by chance
(Someone up there)
Someone up there makes the sun and sea
(Someone up there)
Someone up there brought my girl to me
(Someone up there)
Someone up there makes the wind and rain
(Someone up there)
Someone up there took her back again
And just for once
You can't fight back
No messing with the hand of fate, oh no, oh no
The paper ran an ad
That had you running to the other side of town
Working for a man I never could make out
Who started hanging round
Someone up there got me drinking got me drunk
And made me put him down
The way you looked at me I knew
That we'd be coming to an end
It happened just by chance
(Someone up there)
Someone up there makes the sun and sea
(Someone up there)
Someone up there brought my girl to me
(Someone up there)
Someone up there makes the wind and rain
(Someone up there)
Someone up there took her back again
And just for once
You can't fight back
No messing with the hand of fate, oh no, oh no
I guess that's when I knew
That we'd be coming to an end
It happened just by chance
(Someone up there)
Someone up there makes the sun and sea
(Someone up there)
Someone up there brought my girl to me
(Someone up there)
Someone up there makes the wind and rain
(Someone up there)
Someone up there took her back again
And just for once
You can't fight back
No messing with the hand of fate, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
