Culture Shock

This song appears on Olivia Newton-John, Soul Kiss (1985).

Lyrics transcribed by Lise Andreasen, from the record. See also Frantic Freddy's transcription


I've been trying to tell you,
I've been putting it up for later,
can't wait any longer.

You've been good to me
and that only makes it harder,
saying what I gotta say.

CHORUS A:
You're gonna know, I didn't mean it
It was the last thing on my mind,
How can you love two people at the same time?
Now, I don't wanna lose you,
But I can't give him up.

CHORUS B:
I know it's unconventional,
Radical, but practical,
Why can't the three of us live together?
It's a culture shock, but it's the only hope we've got
Tell me: why can't the three of us live together?

If I could go back and undo it,
If I had a time machine,
I'd make it unhappen, like a bad dream.

CHORUS A:
Honey, you gotta know, ...

CHORUS B:
I know it's ...

You're not taking this too well,
It's out of the question, I can tell,
It's not gonna work, is it?

CHORUS B:
I know it's ...
