stranger than fiction

Joe Jackson

Please mister can?t you help me try to find my baby?s house
It?s three in the morning in the pouring rain
I can?t find the house and I forgot the number
But I gotta give her these roses to relieve her pain
Don?t laugh . . . just tell me you?ve been there before
So we fight but we fight every evening
And I tell you every morning I just love her more

And life goes on . . . filled with disasters and friction
And life can be strange
But love can be stranger than fiction
Only love can be stranger than fiction

Excuse me operator . . . tell me what time it is
Me and my lover been in bed all day
I think I strained a muscle
I didn?t know I had
And tell me what day it is anyway
Don?t laugh . . . just tell me you hear what I say
I love her so much I don?t even know what planet I?m on
Love her so much I wish she?d just go away

And life goes on . . . filled with bizarre contradictions
And life can be strange
But love can be stranger than fiction
Only love can be stranger than fiction

I know that sometimes love goes
But sometimes it comes back to getcha
And when love grows
It grows like a flower or grows like a tumor
Love shows that God has a sense of humor

Life goes on . . . ever immune to prediction
And life can be strange
But love can be stranger than fiction
Only love can be stranger than fiction
