I'm optimistic, I'm determined When I get past the second floor
Sooner or later, I will knock on your door
I'm over 40, you're much younger But over coffee, over tea
Sooner or later, you'll be talking to me
Well, I'm no better than the others But sometimes I believe in fate
Sooner or later, we will go on a date
Three flights down
You're over 40, you're much younger But over coffee, over tea
You're only three flights down
And though I'm taking my time Sooner or later, you will be mine
Sooner or later, we'll turn around And say good day
We're far away, far away from my life Sure you're controlling
But as I'm moving, as I am moving forward Nobody is far away
Sooner or later...
Three flights down
You're only three flights down
And though I'm taking my time
Sooner or later you will be mine
I'm optimistic, I'm determined
When I get past the second floor
Sooner or later I will knock on your door
I'm over forty, I'm much younger
But over coffee, over tea
Sooner or later you'll be talking to me
Well I'm no better than the others
But sometimes I believe in fate
Sooner or later we will go on a date
Three flights down
You're only three flights down
And though I'm taking my time
Sooner or later you will be mine
