Taken By Surprise Lyrics - The Outfield

She wakes me up in the middle of the night 

When I'm rollin' over, rollin' over 

She keeps on askin' is there something on my mind 

I know she's getting close, just a little too closer and yet 

Secrets are hard for me to hide 

'Cause I never know what she might find 

Tellin' her lies, taken by surprise, taken by surprise, yeah 

She calls me up every minute of the day 

It's like she's checking me over, always over my shoulder and then 

We talk and talk until there's nothin' left to say 

I don't know what she's been talkin' but she won't leave me alone every night 

She never says what's on her mind 

And the way that it looks, well I know she ain't blind 

Tellin' her lies, taken by surprise, taken by surprise, yeah 

You know this game is the same all the world over 

No one laughs when they're takin' the blame 

Over your shoulder, taken by surprise 

Can't close my eyes in case I talk in my sleep 

Ooh, I gotta lotta secrets that I know I wanna keep, yeah 

She might even know what's goin' on 

It's all just an act when she says nothing's wrong, like a disguise 

Taken by surprise, taken by surprise, yeah 

Taken by surprise, taken by surprise, yeah 

Taken by surprise, taken by surprise, yeah 

Taken by surprise, oh
