Amy Grant Curious Thing
Written by Amy Grant & Wayne Kirkpatrick 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 going nowhere Then he did this movie and it did really well Now he's a millionaire You see life is a curious thing, yeah 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 'Til 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 checking out schools and driving car pools Learning to adjust He says, Chorus: 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 try See life is a curious thing, yea I said life, ooh life, is a curious thing Let me tell you 'bout a kid I knew A pudgy girl back in school She had greasy hair and geeky glasses The object of ridicule The other day in the check out line They were ringing up my rice and beans There she was just a pretty little face On the cover of a magazine Hmm, and I said (Repeat Chorus) Just 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
