Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What if I never run into you
What if you never smiled at me
What if I had noticed you too
And you never showed up where I happened to be
[Pre-Chorus]
What's a girl like you
Doing in a place like this
On a quiet night
What are the odds
What's a guy like me
Doing in a place like this
I could have just walked by
Who would have thought
[Chorus]
What are the chances
That we'd end up dancing
Like two in a million
Like once in a life
I could have found you
Put my arms around you
Like two in a million
Like once in a life
What are the chances
[Verse 2]
What if I hadn't asked for your name
And time hadn't stopped when you said it to me
Of all of the plans that I could’ve made
Of all of the nights that I couldn't sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
What's a girl like you
Doing in a place like this
In a crowded room
What are the odds
What's a guy like me
Doing in a place like this
Getting close to you
But here we are
[Chorus]
What are the chances
That we'd end up dancing
Like two in a million
Like once in a life
I could have found you
Put my arms around you
Like two in a million
Like once in a life
What are the chances
[Bridge]
Is it love, Is it fate
Who am I, Who's to say
Don't know exactly what it means
Is it love, Is it fate
Where it leads who can say
Maybe you and I were meant to be
[Chorus]
What, what
What are the chances
That we'd end up dancing
Like two in a million
Like once in a life
I could have found you
Put my arms around you (my arms around you)
Like two in a million (It's like two in a million)
Like once in a life
What are the chances (what are the chances)
Like two in a million
Like once in a life
What are the chances (what are the chances)
Like two in a million
Like once in a life
What if I never run into you
And what if you never smiled at me
