[Verse 1]
What rings a bell with you
Don't necessarily ring a bell with me
But that’s the way the cookie crumbles
And love can be intriguing, even if it stumbles

[Verse 2]
You hear a joke and say, "Oh, well"
To me, that joke just rings a bell
What makes a person's bell ring
Is an individual thing

[Verse 3]
Some make a fuss to live alone
Some can't survive without a phone
What makes a person’s life sing
Is an individual thing

[Verse 4]
Out of deference to you
I, of course, respect your preference too
But it's nice if there is little differential
In the things two people feel are preferential

[Verse 5]
With you and me, at least to me
We seem alive, would you agree?
But I speak for myself, of course
Dare I go presuming so
'Cause that's an individual thing
An individual thing
