Lyrics

SURPRISE! SURPRISE! 3:17

I always thought with every gift there came a price to pay
And giving and receiving love was just a game we play
I thought it smart to act a part
But the one who was so wise
Is the one who?s sad and lonely now
Surprise! Surprise!

I thought that I could make a score and never feel her pain
And knowing that she wanted more, her loss would be my gain
Then the tables turned, and who got burned
When she said her good-byes?
Yes, suddenly the joke?s on me
Surprise! Surprise!

And every day I think about the way things might?ve been
If I had let my heart go out, and let her love flow in
Ah, the things that might?ve been!

They say that time will heal all wounds--I don?t believe it?s true
For time can only flow one way and leave your past to rue
If they gave awards for cowardice
I know who?d get first prize
Here?s the cryin? clown who?d win hands down
Surprise! Surprise!
