I'm Not Surprised Lyrics

I’m not surprised that you still call
I’m not surprised
I’m more surprised that I don’t answer
Pick up the phone to call you back
Pick up the phone to call you back
Ain’t it funny how things work out like that

Cause the time that it takes
For you to realize
Is the time that it takes
To open your eyes

You get caught up
You get let down
Stop pushing good friends around
You watched them leave one by one
And now your life has just begun

Cause the time that it takes
For you to realize
Is the time that it takes
To open your eyes
Is the time that it takes
To let it all pass by

And who’s to say
I know anything
I never said I was right
And if I could do it all over again
I don’t think I would
Cause I don’t need to learn your lessons twice

If you tear it up
Write it again
Do you think the madness will ever end?
Whether we stay to see if you go on to dream
Will we ever solve the mystery?

Cause the time that it takes to open up eyes
Is the time that it takes to realize
Is all that time you took and wondered why
It’s the time you need
So baby just take your time

I’m not surprised that you still call
I’m not surprised
I’m more surprised that I don’t answer
Pick up the phone to call you back
Pick up the phone to call you back
Ain’t it funny how things work out like that

Cause the time that it takes
For you to realize
Is the time that it takes 
To open your eyes

You get caught up
You get let down
Stop pushing good friends around
You watched them leave one by one
And now your life has just begun

Cause the time that it takes
For you to realize
Is the time that it takes 
To open your eyes
Is the time that it takes 
To let it all pass by

And who’s to say

I never said I was right
And if I could do it all over again
I don’t think I would
Cause I don’t need to learn your lessons twice

If you tear it up

Do you think the madness will ever end?
Whether we stay to see if you go on to dream
Will we ever solve the mystery?

Cause the time that it takes to open up eyes
Is the time that it takes to realize
Is all that time you took and wondered why
It’s the time you need
So baby just take your time

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
