Surprises Songtext
von Billy Joel

Don′t get excited, don't say a word
Nobody noticed, nothing was heard
It was committed discreetly, it was handled so neatly
And it shouldn′t surprise you at all
You know

Break all the records, burn the cassettes
I'd be lying if I told you that I had no regrets
There were so many mistakes, and what a difference it makes

But still it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know
I said it shouldn′t surprise you at all
You know


Don′t look now but you have changed
Your best friends wouldn't tell you

Now it′s apparent, now it's a fact
So marshal your forces for another attack
You were so young and naive, I know it′s hard to believe

But now it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know
No it shouldn′t surprise you at all
You know

What has it cost you, what have you won?
The sins of the fathers are the sins of the sons
It was always within you, it will always continue


But it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know
I said it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know
