You've got your back to the wall, but you don't see nothing at all They could be needing and pleading you but you wouldn't know There's things that I'd like to do, things I'd be saying to you If it was easy to be around you Surprise surprise I turn my back on you Surprise surprise Is this what you always do? Look in my eyes Do you feel it too? Surprise surprise. You know the more that I see, the less I seem to believe Don't trust everything you read, can you keep up with me? I hate to look in your eyes, I hate to tell you these lies But I don't think all the time Surprise surprise I turn my back on you Surprise surprise Is this what you always do? Look in my eyes Do you feel it too? Surprise surprise. Surprise surprise I turn my back on you Surprise surprise Is this what you always do? Look in my eyes I love it when you look that way Well you surprise me every day Surprise surprise I turn my back on you Surprise surprise Is this what you always do? Look in my eyes Do you feel it too? Surprise surprise.

Come on it, take what you want Tell me what you receive All I need is the memory of you Then you say what you've got to say But is it what you believe in? Now I see you surrender me when you go Well maybe I don't know what you're telling me In the dark of the night I can hardly see You'll have to tell me twice Because I need to know Well, baby, I can't tell what you're saying to me I won't look if you turn around And If you don't want to see me I don't care, catch me unaware if you choose Don't you give me another clue Because I don't want to know All I know is that now I know too much Well maybe I don't know what you're telling me In the dark of the night I can hardly see You'll have to tell me twice Because I need to know Well, baby, I can't tell what you're saying to me Well maybe I don't know what you're telling me In the dark of the night I can hardly see You'll have to tell me twice Because I need to know Well, baby, I can't tell what you're saying to me

Other Side 04:16
Don't cry if you see me Holding hands with someone I have never met I'm just trying to forget you I thought it would be nice to call you with a song But cracks are forming on the pedestal I've put you on Is this it, is this enough for you and me to go on? Don't bother calling me if you choose to go out 'Cause I'm not sure when I'm coming home tonight If this is close to paradise I wonder what is waiting on the other side In the mix up I can't recall What's worth forgetting and what really mattered Rumour has it that you fell in love And everything inside shattered No, I don't know the time But I'm sure that it's too late for you to use that kind of line I wouldn't be surprised to look at you And see you've lost your mind Don't bother calling me if you choose to go out I'm not sure when I'm coming home tonight If this is close to paradise I wonder what is waiting on the other side They're running out of space at the heartbreak hotel They've got a room for you but not your luggage as well The safest place to go is on the dry spot on the stairs outside I won't be there to pick up if you call me while you're out I'm don't know if I'm coming home tonight If you're this close to paradise I'd hate to see what's waiting on the other side

Rosanna 03:51
Rosanna never meant that much to me She could say anything and I'd agree But she never really did that much, she never said too much, but she said those words to me She went through her life so unobserved And I don't think I've got the nerve I haven't got the guts to be the kind of guy that she says she wants me to be Oh Rosanna won't you give me one more chance I won't turn away when you come and ask for another dance Cause she never really did that much, she never said too much but she said those words to me I told her secrets that I wished that she would keep She told me horror stories just to get me to sleep But I never believed her so she told me what happens to us after we go And the worst part is that she always ended up alone You fooled them all with your disguise But I see reality when I look into your green velvet eyes And though my mistakes seem far too real, please don't believe what the past reveals to you Oh Rosanna won't you give me one more chance I won't turn away when you come and ask for another dance And she never really did that much, she never said too much but she said those words to me Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna Won't you come back on home Rosanna Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna Won't you come back on home Rosanna Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna Won't you come back on home Rosanna Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna Go Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna Won't you come back on home Rosanna Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna Won't you come back on home Rosanna Oh Rosanna, Go Rosanna Won't you come back on home Rosanna Come back home if you feel alright, 'cause I need you here tonight Oh Rosanna won't you give me one more chance I won't turn away when you come and ask for another dance Cause she never really did that much, she never said too much but she said those words to me Rosanna never meant that much to me
