I brought you flowers, I tried to treat you nice
Like pink champagne, you left me bottled up on ice
I'll never be famous or make a hundred grand
I'll never be a superhero but I could be your man
I would love to make you feel all right
But you keep me going all through the night

New york to la
Motor city every day
Even down in fla
All across the u.s.a.
It happens all over the world
Your doctor and your school teacher
Housewife and soul preacher
Got to do the twist and twirl
Every boy and every girl
It happens all over the world

I sent you letters and sealed them with a kiss
Nothing new to say, it's just a workout for my lips
You never answer
You just pretend that you're not home
I'll never be your superhero if you don't pick up the phone
I would love to take you for a ride
But you keep me going in overdrive

New york to la
Motor city every day
Even down in fla
All across the u.s.a.
It happens all over the world
Your doctor and your school teacher
Housewife and soul preacher
Got to do the twist and twirl
Every boy and every girl
It happens all over the world
