No Small Affair (Version 1) Songtext
von Rupert Holmes

Life′s a demolition derby, I'm a two wheel in a four wheel combat zone
So I circle round the boundary lines of love, leaving well enough alone
I stand clear of all disaster and if love should try to call
I just move a little faster, turn my focus to the wall, that′s all

And it's no big deal (no big deal)
No sweat at all (sweat at all)
No one plans to catch me so I don't plan the fall
But you′ve done me, but you make me care
And what happens to you is to me no small affair
No small affair, no small affair


Life is best seen from a distance, through a window or a telescopic lens
And if love′s the conversation, I just leave the room until the topic ends
What's the point in walking by for through a shooting gallery
They will get you if you let them and they got it in for me, you′ll see

And it's no big deal (no big deal)
Nothing much (nothing much)
No one gets to hurt you if no one gets to touch you
But you don′t make me care, but you make me care
And what happens to you is to me no small affair
No small affair, no small affair

What's the point in walking by for through a shooting gallery?
They will get you if you let them, and they got it in for me
You see


But it′s no big deal, no sweat at all
No one plans to catch me, so I don't plan the fall
But you've done me, you′ve made me care
And what happens to you is to meet no small affair
No small affair, no small affair, no small affair
