It really isn't clear What the story is my dear So I'll have to analyze All those lies and alibis One look was all it took Cause I know you like a book You think you're cleaver Those endeavors, that you're hiding I'm deciding that we're through Strange Got a feeling you've been lying to me lately When we kiss I get a bad vibration You tried to hide the guilt in your eyes Leaving clues without a trace We used to talk and now you're always quiet I ask you why, you say that you're just tired You get a call and you're ready to walk out the door And I think it's kinda strange Bridge My suspicions are killing me But I don't wanna point the finger at you You say I shouldn't place the blame But it seems you're playing games How much longer must I tolerate this madness Chorus Strange So low I can't get under it So high I can't get over it So wide I can't get around it And it's looking mighty strange Yesterday I saw you across town Buying roses, that's something you never do When you got home, hello is all I got from you Don't cha think that's kinda strange I been feelin kinda funny since the last time Cause you left in such a hurry, tryin' to buy time If you're doing what I'm thinking that you're going Then I think you need to change Bridge Chorus Rap: I can't say when But it seems it all began When I felt an icy tingle down my spine You say it's in my mind So I must resolve to find Little pieces of the puzzle that fit You think you're so slick But I'm up on all your tricks And I think you're soon to be A small part of history I know it's hard to see So how you are cheating me You can't hide I can't stop it Can't get by it And to top it off, you're strange
