It?s cool being the only one but it?s lonely   I could have fallen in the stove   A thousand times before   If only someone had known me      They say there?s someone for everyone   Oh, plus the word will be never done   When all you need is to be met half way   But nobody tried      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 watching   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 that   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 ole 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
