[Verse 1]
Now take a boy and a lonely girl
All alone in this lonely world
Bring together by chance
At a very special dance

[Chorus]
And that's the formula
That’s the formula
That's the formula
For love

[Verse 2]
Now pretty music will always help
To bring a fellow in on queue
And when he asks her for a dance
They feel the start of something new

[Chorus]
And that's the formula
That’s the formula
That's the formula
For love

[Verse 3]
At first they don't understand
But they know it sure is grand
That feeling that they feel
When he's holding her by the hand
