A Strange Arrangement Lyrics
We took the long and steady road
And from the start you had a heart of gold, you broke the mold
I never thought you would decide
The grass was greener on the other side of love's divide
You were everything that I wanted and more
Now we can't go back where we started, never be like before
Darlin' me and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and I'm through with playing the fool for love
Darlin' yes it's true we had a grand engagement
But I can't stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
I've got to be a man, baby I've got to take a stand
So now we gone our separate ways
But in my heart I feel the burning flames of love's remains
Now I have to find somebody new
But all who dare will be compared to you
What can I do?
You were everything that I dreamed I would find
Now we can't go back where we started this is the end of the line
Darling me and you we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and I'm through playing the fool for love
Darlin' yes it's true we had a grand engagement
But I can't stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
I've got to be a man, baby I've got to take a stand
Me and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and I'm through playing the fool for love
Darlin' yes it's true we had a grand engagement
But I can't stand by while you break my heart in two, no
I've got to be a man, baby I've got to take a stand
And from the start you had a heart of gold, you broke the mold
I never thought you would decide
The grass was greener on the other side of love's divide
Now we can't go back where we started, never be like before
But you broke all the rules and I'm through with playing the fool for love
Darlin' yes it's true we had a grand engagement
But I can't stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
I've got to be a man, baby I've got to take a stand
But in my heart I feel the burning flames of love's remains
Now I have to find somebody new
But all who dare will be compared to you
What can I do?
Now we can't go back where we started this is the end of the line
But you broke all the rules and I'm through playing the fool for love
Darlin' yes it's true we had a grand engagement
But I can't stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
I've got to be a man, baby I've got to take a stand
But you broke all the rules and I'm through playing the fool for love
Darlin' yes it's true we had a grand engagement
But I can't stand by while you break my heart in two, no
I've got to be a man, baby I've got to take a stand

I really love the prelude to this song!
Listening to this on repeat for a while, I would like to hear Mayer sing it as a duet. I don't know who, but I imagine the tone and performance to be just as emotional without another person. The duet (to me) adds the fact that the lovers have hurt and pained each other beyond repair of the relationship. Thank you Mayer!
