CHORUS
Love is strange
Love is such a mystery
Love is strange
Stranger than it has to be
I want you
But when I do you don’t want me
Love is strange
I come to you with my heart in my hand
Watching you turn away is more than I can stand
Then I walk across the street
I see someone I wanta meet
Then here you come dragging your feet
Telling me you’re mine all mine
CHORUS
I try to follow all the rules
Till you got me feeling like I’m back in school
But I don’t like the way that you test me
The way you cheat and try to outguess me
I want an education
But I ain’t gonna be your fool
BRIDGE
I say black and you say white
I’m out of your mind when I’m out of your sight
I tell you I’m through with that song and dance
But then you’re begging me for one more chance
All day long I think about the night ahead
All excited by those sweet things you said
Then I call you up but you’re not there
Something here just ain’t fair
CHORUS
