Lyrics
It was just one of those things
Reflecting on a random occurrence
Just one of those crazy flings
Describing a spontaneous and unpredictable romantic involvement
One of those bells that now and then rings
Comparing the relationship to a bell that occasionally rings
Just one of those things
Reiterating that it was just a casual occurrence
It was just one of those nights
Recalling a particular night
One of those fabulous flights
Characterizing the night as fantastic and extraordinary
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Metaphorically describing the experience as a journey to the moon on delicate wings
Just one of those things
Reiterating that it was just a casual occurrence
If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
Reflecting on the lack of foresight about the relationship's outcome
When we started painting the town
Recalling the joyous beginning of their time together
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Acknowledging that the intense love affair was destined to cool down
Was too hot, not to cool down
Recognizing the inevitability of the relationship losing its initial passion
So goodbye, bye, bye, bye, dear and Amen
Bidding farewell with repeated goodbyes and expressing a final "Amen"
Here's hoping we meet now and then
Expressing a wish for occasional future meetings
It was great fun
Summing up the overall experience as great fun
But it was just one of those things
Reiterating that it was just a casual occurrence
If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
Reflecting on the lack of foresight about the relationship's outcome (repeated theme)
When we started painting the town
Recalling the joyous beginning of their time together (repeated theme)
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Acknowledging that the intense love affair was destined to cool down (repeated theme)
Was too hot, not to cool down
Recognizing the inevitability of the relationship losing its initial passion (repeated theme)
So goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye dear and Amen
Bidding a final goodbye with repeated farewells and expressing a final "Amen" (repeated theme)
Here's hoping we meet now and then
Expressing a wish for occasional future meetings (repeated theme)
It was great fun
Summing up the overall experience as great fun (repeated theme)
But it was just one of those things, just one of those things
Reiterating that it was just a casual occurrence (repeated theme)
Just one of those things, just one of those things
Concluding that it was simply one of those things, emphasizing the casual nature of the experience
