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 hmmm
Verse
I spent my whole adult life worrying
That the world would find me out before too long
I faint, I fail, my vision starts a-blurrying
So just stay strong. Or get strong
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
Bridge
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
Solo Harmony
Verse
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
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
