I was on top of the world livin high
|
It was right in my pocket
|
I was livin' the life
|
Things were just the way they should be
|
When from out of the sky like a bomb comes some little punk in a rocket
|
Now all of a sudden some strange things are happenin' to me
|
|
I had friends,
|
I had lots of friends
|
Now all my friends are gone
|
And I'm doin' the best I can to carry on
|
|
I had power (power)
|
I was respected (respect)
|
But not any more
|
And I've lost the love to the one whom I adored
|
|
Let me tell you about the strange things are happenin' to me
|
Strange things
|
Strange things are happenin' to me...
|
Ain't no doubt about it
|
|
You got someone you think you know well
|
It turns out a stranger
|
The minute you turn your back
|
You're in it all by yourself
|
|
They laugh at your jokes
|
You think you're doin' quite well
|
But you're in danger, boy
|
You end up alone, forgotten, way up on the shelf
|
|
Strange things are happenin' to me
|
Strange things
|
Strange things are happenin' to me
|
Ain't no doubt about it
|
|
Strange things are happenin' to me
|
Strange things
|
Strange things are happenin' to me
|
|
Strange things
|
