It wasn’t love at the beginning,
I was just curious,
Wanted to know more about you:
What are you doing?
What you’ve been up to?
Are you thinking of me?
Cause apparently,
I’m thinking of you.

It wasn’t love at the beginning,
It was a curiosity,
And because I’m curious,
I called you first,
Just to hang up three seconds later,
Cause I didn’t want you to think that I was in love,
No babe,
I was just curious.

When you texted me two minutes later,
I told you I was just bored,
Calling any number without even looking,
And it just happened to be yours.

You laughed,
Then asked me to come with you somewhere,
“Will you?”, you said,
“Why not?”, I said,
Cause I was just curious,
And it wasn’t love at the beginning.
