Curious Thing

There was this guy, he was down on his luck

He was truly poverty's child

Well, he had no home and he had no car

And he wore a weary smile

Moved out to

L.A., knocked around for a while

But he was goin' nowhere

Then he did this movie and it did really well

Now he's a millionaire

You see life

Is a curious thing, yea

You see life

Ooh life, is a curious thing

I know a man who could paint the town red

Had a college degree in fun

Till the doorbell rang and a long lost flame said"This little boy is your son"

Gave him a suitcase and a bear

And left them in a cloud of dust

Now he's checkin' out schools and drivin' car pools

Learnin' to adjust

He says life

Is a curious thing, yea

You see life

Ooh life, is a curious thing

Well I know that it can be demanding

I know that it can be unkind

I don't really understand it

But Lord sure knows

I trySee life

Is a curious thing, yea

I said life

Ooh life, is a curious thing

Let me tell you 'bout a kid

I knewA pudgy girl back in school

She had greasy hair and geeky glasses

Object of ridicule

The other day in the check out line

They were ringin' up my rice and beans, huh

There she was just a pretty little face

On the cover of a magazine

Hmm, and I said life

Is a curious thing, yea

I said life

Ooh life, is a curious thing

Well I know that it can be demanding

I know that it can be unkind

I don't really understand it

But Lord sure knows

I tryJust goes to show that you never know

Just what tomorrow may bring

But I'll tell you this that what it is

Is seldom what it seems'

Cause life

Is a curious thing, yea

I said life

Ooh life, is a curious thing

I said life

Is a curious thing

I said life

Ooh, life is a curious thing
