Who Would've Thought Lyrics - The Goodbye Girl Soundtrack

Paula

Who would've thought
This subhuman sublet
With an ego the size
Of the national debt
Would live up to his hype
But he isn't my type

Elliot

Who would've thought
I'd subdue and disarm
Her disdain and contempt
With the force of my charm
She'd resist if she could
I must really be good

Paula & Elliot

Why couldn't I see it coming?
Why didn't I have a clue?
I suddenly fell like humming

Paula

And I must put a stop to this soon

Elliot

I can feel that she's changing her tune

Paula

Who would believe
I'm enough of a fool
To be taking the plunge
After draining the pool
We may learn to be friends
But that's right where it ends

Paula & Elliot

All that I know
Is that just down the hall
In the very next room
Through this paper-thin wall
There's a creature I hated
I can't wait to wake up and see
Who would have thought that

Paula

This nightmare

Elliot

This wonderful blunder

Paula & Elliot

Would happen to me
Who would have thought?

Lucy & Cynthia

Who would have thought it
Would take them so long

Cynthia

I was sure of last week

Lucy

And last weekend was wrong

Melanie

This is totally cool

Lucy & Cynthia

That's cause you won the pool

Melanie

When do you think
They will cut to the chase

Lucy

Well, his odds have improved

Cynthia

Since he got to first base

Three girls

And he's coming on strong
So it shouldn't be long
This couldn't be more outstanding
We hang on their every move

Melanie

It's very much like "Knots Landing"

Cynthia & Melanie

Will he charm her right into his palm?

Lucy

If he doesn't she isn't my mom

Three girls

What happens next
Could be anyone's call

Cynthia & Melanie

We're depending on you
With your ear to the wall

Three girls

To turn into a spy to be of those sly little elves
Till we're grown, on your own, and are prone to find
Romance
Ourselves
Who would've thought?
Who would've thought?
