Coupling Theme Song Lyrics
You won’t admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
A million times I’ve asked you
And then I ask you over
Again you only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can’t make your mind up
We’ll never get started
And I don’t wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me, say yes
But if you don’t dear, confess
And please don’t tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Behind the Lyrics: Meaning & Story
The theme for Coupling is a sultry cover of the 1947 Spanish song “Quizás, Quizás, Quizás” by Osvaldo Farrés. This English version, performed with a cabaret-style flair by Mari Wilson, perfectly mirrors the central theme of the series: the awkward, confusing, and often hilarious dynamics of modern dating.
The song’s lyrics reflect the indecision and “mind games” that the characters—Steve, Susan, Jeff, and the rest of the gang—constantly navigate throughout the show’s four-season run. The arrangement by Simon Brint and Simon Wallace gives the sitcom a sophisticated, adult edge that set it apart from other comedies of the era.
