You started something,
Yes you did but you didn't even try to,
You smiled and my heart began to fly to
The moon!
You started something,
Yes you did but you didn't even know it,
And now I'm as wacky as a poet
In June!

I believe in fairy tales,
I believe in Santa Claus,
I believe in dreams come true,
I do because

You started something,
Yes you did but you didn't know what I knew,
I knew right away that you were my new romance!

I believe in fairy tales,
I believe in Santa Claus,
I believe in dreams come true,
I do because

You started something,
Yes you did but you didn't know what I knew,
I knew right away that you were my new romance!
You started something, I'm in love!
