[Verse 1]
Fun tickets in my pocket, visions in my brain
Grandfather always told me if I went down, I might never come back again
I studied the language tapes and I read all the books
Still nothing prepared me for my very first look

[Chorus 1]
It was my first look
Baby, that's all it took
Was my first look around

[Verse 2]
I think I want to go flyin', but I don't want to leave the ground
So I'll just cruise on my landing gear and taxi 'round Rio town
Up to the mountain, down to the sea
Take me to Leblon where the samba queen awaits for me

[Chorus 2]
It was my first look
That's when I swallowed the hook
On my first look around

[Bridge]
Amor a primeira vista
Voce nao, quer que o insista
Amor a primeira vista
Reacao quimica, quimica, quimica
Amor a primeira vista
Voce nao, quer que o insista
Amor a primeira vista
Reacao quimica, quimica, quimica
[Verse 3]
Six days later I was feeling like a missing link
When my friends told me, "Hey Jimmy, it must have been the hoodoo drink"
Now it's time for siestas and a belly full of rice and beans
And figure if I'm brave enough to repeat the whole crazy scene

[Chorus 2]
On my first look
That's when I swallowed the hook
On my first look
Around

[Bridge]
Amor a primeira vista
Voce nao, quer que o insista
Amor a primeira vista
Reacao quimica, quimica, quimica
Amor a primeira vista
Voce nao, quer que o insista
Amor a primeira vista
Reacao quimica, quimica, quimica
