Lyrics

It was just one of those things

Referring to a random event or occurrence

Just one of those crazy flings

Describing a brief and impulsive romantic relationship

One of those bells that now and then rings

Comparing the relationship to a bell that occasionally rings, suggesting unpredictability

Just one of those things

Reiterating that it was just a casual occurrence


It was just one of those nights

Emphasizing that it happened during a specific night

Just one of those fabulous flights

Describing the night as fantastic and extraordinary

A trip to the moon on gossamer wings

Using poetic imagery to describe the intensity of the experience

Just one of those things

Reiterating that it was just a random occurrence


If we'd thought a bit of the end of it

Reflecting on the consequences if they had considered the potential end of the relationship

When we started painting the town

Recalling the beginning of their socializing or dating

We'd have been aware

Expressing a lack of awareness at the time

Our love affair was too hot not to cool down

Acknowledging that their passionate love was bound to cool down


So good-bye, dear, and amen

Bidding farewell with a sense of finality

Here's hoping we meet now and then

Expressing hope for occasional future meetings

It was great fun

Acknowledging that the experience was enjoyable

But it was just one of those things

Reiterating that it was just a random occurrence


It was just one of those things

Recalling the earlier description of the event

Just one of those crazy flings

Reiterating the fleeting and impulsive nature of the romantic involvement

One of those bells that now and then rings

Comparing the relationship to a bell, emphasizing its occasional and unpredictable nature

Just one of those things

Affirming that it was just a random occurrence


It was just one of those nights

Reiterating that it happened during a specific night

Just one of those fabulous flights

Describing the night as fantastic and extraordinary

A trip to the moon on gossamer wings

Using poetic imagery to describe the intensity of the experience

Just one of those things

Reiterating that it was just a random occurrence


If we'd thought a bit of the end of it

Reflecting on the consequences if they had considered the potential end of the relationship

When we started painting the town

Recalling the beginning of their socializing or dating

We'd have been aware

Expressing a lack of awareness at the time

Our love affair was too hot not to cool down

Acknowledging that their passionate love was bound to cool down


So good-bye, dear, good-bye, good-bye, amen

Bidding farewell with a sense of finality and adding emphasis to the goodbye

Here's hoping we meet now and then

Expressing hope for occasional future meetings

It was great fun

Acknowledging that the experience was enjoyable

But it was just one of those things

Reiterating that it was just a random occurrence

One of those things, one of those things

Repeating the idea that it was just one of those random and fleeting things

It was just one of those things

Concluding with the affirmation that it was indeed just a random occurrence
