Surprise Surprise

Surprise, surprise

I understand your shock at getting wise

I was feeling shame, you were feeling stupid

'Cause I knew what was wrong with me long before you did

I knew what was wrong with me long before you did, mm-hmm

I've spent my whole adult life worrying

That the world would find me out before too long

I faint, I fail, my vision starts a-blurring

So just stay strong

Or get strung

Surprise, surprise

Look into these never-loving eyes

You were feeling safe while I was feeling lonely

You thought that you had known me but I wish that you had only

Known just what was wrong with me long before you did, mm-hmm

A life on the run from the truth is a gun

With its barrel pointed deep down in your throat

And one day you'll say enough of this self-defeating stuff

One false move, that's all she wrote

And on those mornings when I'm lying

In our bed alone, and realize I'm old

My mind begins to wish that I was flying

It's not my mind

It's my soul

Surprise, surprise

I understand your shock at getting wise

I was feeling shame, you were feeling stupid

'Cause I knew what was wrong with me long before you did

I knew what was wrong with me long before you did, mm-hmm

I knew what was wrong with me long before you did, mm-hmm

I knew what was wrong with me long before you did

I knew what was wrong with me long before you did, mm-hmm

I knew what was wrong with me long before you did

I knew what was wrong with me long before you did, mm-hmm

I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
