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
