Pete Townshend Now And Then lyrics

Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it

Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it

In you, I saw someone that I recognized
Had no idea what was in your mind
I met your eyes and I was hypnotized
I let our lives become entwined

Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it

I feel so badly darlin' all the time
I have tortured you so long
But I am helpless in this pantomime
I am aware that I was wrong

Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it

Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it


You can't do a thing about it

For though you knew that I was twice your age
To make you laugh seemed you enough
I thought, we'd love and then you'd turn the page
I'd have to suffer your rebuff

And it was me who had the most to gain
Despite the fact that I now have lost
The only love that ever caused me pain
I feel like a double head was tossed

Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love

Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
And you can't do a thing about it

Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it

Now and then, you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it

Rastus? It's Ruth, uh, I've got something to show you
Look, it's a bit complicated, I've got Ray where I want him now
I'm gonna act, I'm gonna act soon, this is gonna be big
So you better be ready, okay?
Um, but before I do anything else, we need to talk about my commission
