Surprise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
it's cool being the only one, but it's lonely
I could have fallen in love a thousand times before, if only someone had known me
They say there's someone for everyone, oh but the work would be never done
When all you need is to be meet half way, but nobody tries
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
Needless to say it's a wonderful day
I just noticed how nice it was to know ya
Oh, but be ready to sacrifice
If you love him you should tell him twice
Because When everything that's alive ultimately dies
Oh, Lord
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Somebody's watchin', maybe you want'em to see you
But with your regrets and secrets, you don't really want them to be you
Well you can make believe I'm back, and for now I'll be just fine
But when The child grows up to have more than just your eyes
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Now the ending to every story Is most enchanting
Now whether It's heaven or hell I wear it well
Please forgive me for rambling
I just wanted ya'll to know that I don't know it all
So when that big old smile ends up being just a disguise
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Oh, Lord
Don't be surprised
Ooh, oh, Lord
Don't be surprised
I said don't be
Don't be surprised
There's nothing
Left in here
That's surprising
Baby prising baby
