AMY GRANT - CURIOUS THING lyrics

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

He wore a weary smile

Moved out to L.A., knocked around for awhile

But he was going nowhere

Then he did this movie and it did really well

Now he's a millionaire

I say life (ooh life) is a curious thing, yeah

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, left him in a cloud of dust

Now he's checking out schools and driving carpools, learning to adjust

He says life (ooh life) is a curious thing

He says 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

I say life (ooh life) is a curious thing, yeah

I say life, ooh life, is a curious thing

Let me tell you about a kid I knew

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 ringing up my rice and beans

There she was, just a pretty little face

On the cover of a magazine

And I said life (ooh life) is a curious thing, yeah

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 try

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 (ooh life) is a curious thing, yeah

I said life, ooh life, is a curious thing

'Cause life (ooh life) is a curious thing

I said life (ooh life) is a curious thing
