Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 And he wore a weary smile Moved out to L.A., knocked around for a while But he was going nowhere Then he did this movie and it did really well Now he's a millionaire You see, life (Ooh, life) is a curious thing, yeah You see, life, ooh, life is a curious thing [Verse 2] 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 beer And left him in a cloud of dust Now he's checking out schools and driving carpools Learning to adjust, huh He says life (Ooh, life) is a curious thing, yeah He said life, ooh, life is a curious thing [Chorus] 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 You see, life (Ooh, life) is a curious thing, yeah I say life, ooh, life is a curious thing [Verse 3] Let me tell you 'bout a kid I knew A 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, hmm And I said life (Ooh, life) is a curious thing, yeah I say life, ooh, life is a curious thing [Refrain] 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 [Outro] 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 say life, ooh, life is a curious thing See, life (Ooh, life) is a curious thing I say life, ooh, life is a curious thing
