Surprises - 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
