I was at a dance when he caught my eye
Standin' all alone lookin' sad and shy
We began to dance, swaying' to and fro
And soon I knew that I'd never let him go
Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
No, no, the bossa nova, (No, no, the bossa nova)
No, no, the bossa nova, (No, no, the bossa nova)
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova, (Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova)
The dance of love
(...)
Now I'm glad to say I'm his bride to be
And we're gonna raise a little family
And when the kids ask how it came about
I'm gonna say to them without a doubt
Blame it on the bossa nova with its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova that he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But then it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
No, no, the bossa nova, (No, no, the bossa nova)
No, no, the bossa nova, (No, no, the bossa nova)
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova, (Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova)
The dance of love
(No, no, the bossa nova)
(No, no, the bossa nova)
(Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova)
The dance of love
