Gnarls Barkley Lyrics

"Surprise" lyrics


It's cool being the only one
but it's lonely
I could've fallen in love a thousand time before
if only someone had known me.
They say there's someone for everyone
oh but the work will never be done.
When all you need is to be met 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 'em you should tell 'em 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 watching.
Maybe you want 'em to see you.
But with your regrets and secret you don't really want them to be you.
Well you can make believe I'm blind.
And from 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 y'all
to know that I don't know at all.
So when that big ol' smile ends up being just a disguise,

Don't be surprised.
Don't be surprised.
Oh lord
Don't be surprised.
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.
