Curious Thing Lyrics - Singer Songwriter Collection: Lead Me On & Behind - Amy Grant

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 awhile 

But he was getting nowhere 

Then he did this movie and it did really well 

Now he's a millionaire 

See, life is a curious thing 

Life, ooh life is a curious thing 

I know a man who could paint the town red 

Had a college degree in fun 

'till the doorbell rang and a long lost flame said 

"this little boy is your son" 

Gave him a suitcase and a bear 

Left 'em in a cloud of dust 

Now he's checking out schools and driving carpools 

Learning to adjust 

He says life is a curious thing 

Life, ooh life is a curious thing 

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 

Life is a curious thing 

Life, ooh life is a curious thing 

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, a pretty little face 

On the cover of a magazine 

And I said life is a curious thing 

Life, ooh life is a curious thing 

(chorus)
