Curious Thing Lyrics - Singles - Grant Amy

Written by Amy Grant & Wayne Kirkpatrick 

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 is a curious thing, yeah 

You see life, ooh life, is a curious thing 

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 bear 

And left them in a cloud of dust 

Now he's checking out schools and driving car pools 

Learning to adjust 

He says, 

Chorus: 

Life is a curious thing, yea 

You see 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 

See life is a curious thing, yea 

I said 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 

The 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 

(Repeat Chorus) 

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 is a curious thing, yea 

I said life, ooh life is a curious thing 

I said life is a curious thing 

I said life, ooh, life is a curious thing
