One dumb thing is how it starts
One dumb thing is all it takes
One dumb thing leads to another

One dumb thing is how it started
One dumb thing is all he said
One dumb thing led to another
Now it's over 'cause of one dumb thing

A glance, a stance, a broken romance
A disconnected telephone
What's behind it? How to define it?
Makes the world go around and around and around

One dumb thing is how it started
One dumb thing is all she did
One dumb thing led to another

One dumb thing is the beginning
One dumb thing, it never ends
One dumb thing goes right on making
More and more of one dumb thing
