Now And Then

Written by Pete Townshend

Lyrics

Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it

In you I saw someone that I recognized
Had no idea what was in your mind
I met your eyes and I was hypnotized
I let our lives become entwined
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
I feel so badly darlin' all the time
I have tortured you so long
But I am helpless in this pantomime
I am aware that I was wrong
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it
For though you knew that I was twice your age
To make you laugh seemed youth enough
I thought we'd love and then you'd turn the page
I'd have to suffer your rebuff
And it was me who had the most to gain
Despite the fact that I now have lost
The only love that ever caused me pain
I feel like a double head was tossed
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love
You can't do a thing about it

Scene 17 - A call on Rastus' answering machine

RUTH:
Rastus?
It's Ruth.
Uh, I've got something to show you.
Look, it's a bit complicated.
I've got Ray where I want him now -
I'm gonna act.
I'm gonna act soon.
This is gonna be big, so you better be ready, OK?
Um, but before I do anything else, we need to talk about my commission.
