Surprise Surprise!

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 hmm
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 info these never-loving eyes
you were feeling safe while I was feeling lonely
you thought that that you had known me
But I wish that you had only
known just what was wrong with me long before you did
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
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
