Intro

    

Verse 1

Oh hello Mr. Soul I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I'd caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face should seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change but a stranger is putting the tease on
   
   

Verse 2

(same as verse 1)
I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said 'You're strange, but don't change' and I let her
 

Verse 3

(same as verse 1)
In a while well the smile on my face turned to plaster
Stick around while the clown who was sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change? I don't know - why don't you ask her

Chorus

Is it strange I should change? I don't know
Is it strange I should change? I don't know

Intro

 

Verse 1

Oh, hello, Mister Soul, I dropped by to pick up a rea_son  
For the thought that I caught that my head is the e_vent of the
sea_son.  
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'  
I'll cop out to the change but a stranger is putting the tease on. 

Verse 2

(same as verse 1)
I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter.
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her.
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better.
She said, "You're strange, but don't change," and I let her.

Verse 3

(same as verse 1)
In a while, will the smile on my face turn to plaster,
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster.
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster.
Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Hope this helps, I know it's confusing. Next time ask for an easier song!
