Debbie Gibson learns that appearances are not what they seem in the shallow "Anything Is Possible."
Passe synthesizers open the single, setting an isignificant tone. The single begins with the chorus. Gibson says that people need to believe in what they want. They need to make it a goal and it can happen.
Anything is possible/If you put your mind to it/Anything is possible/Just put your mind to it/Anything is possible/If you put your mind to it/Anything/Is possible.
In the first verse, she really liked a guy at school. However, he was popular and dated a lot of girls. She thought that he viewed her as a loser. While she thought of him as the type of guy who used girls for sex. However, they go on a date and they get along really well. She had pegged him wrong.
Thought I couldn't slow him down/Long enough to look my way/Thought he was out of my league/Wouldn't give me time of day/Thought he was like all the rest/Love her, leave her, no remorse/But I guess that I misjudged/And this thing just ran its course/He taught me.
The chorus is sung again.
Gibson announces that it's time for a dance break. A male background singer says that anything can happen.
Break it down now/No matter what it is, it's possible/Say, anything is possible/(Anything...) No matter what it is, it's possible/Say, anything is possible/(Anything...) No matter what it is, it's possible/Say, anything is possible/(Anything...) No matter what it is, it's possible/Say, anything is possible.
In the second verse, she continues about her new boyfriend. She said that when they first started talking, she found that he was friendly and not aloof. He gazes her into her eyes, which Gibson boasts about. She said that he acted like a jerk to be more popular. However, his charm was real. She says that he understood more than anyone and paid attention to what she said. He wanted to go out with her and Gibson thinks that it should be enough to convince everyone. He was more than a pretty boy.
