"You Took Me By Surprise" lyrics

You Took Me By Surprise

You took me by surprise
The things you said
You know I never realised
That I was just another fool
Within your eyes
But now I know just what to do

So I'll be on my way
The games you play are not the games
I care to play
So keep your distance
I'll soon find another day
There's nothing I would rather do
Ooh, ooh

Oh, woman
When you hurt my pride
It cut me deep inside
Oh, woman
You led me to believe
It was only me
Oh, woman
You really took me in
With all your sweet talking
Oh, woman
Oh, I wonder if you knew
All the pain you put me through
But how could I see
What was in your eyes
With your lies and your alibis?
Oh, woman

Oh, you took me for a ride
Looking back
You know I laugh, but then I cried
Well, now you see that slowly time
Has changed the tide
So now the tables turned on you
Ooh, ooh

Oh, woman
When you hurt my pride
It cut me deep inside
Oh, woman
You led me to believe
It was only me
Oh, woman
You really took me in
With all your sweet talking
Oh, woman
Oh, I wonder if you knew
All the pain you put me through
But how could I see
What was in your eyes
With your lies and your alibis?

Oh, woman
When you hurt my pride
It cut me deep inside
Oh, woman
You led me to believe
It was only me
Oh, woman
You really took me in
With all your sweet talking
Oh, woman
Oh, I wonder if you knew
All the pain you put me through
And I'm still in love with you
