Loving you is ever so strange
Take a look at me and see what I have changed
Time after time, telling you
Telling you to rearrange

Holding you down
Holding you down to one thing
Bringing you up
Bringing you up to something good
Hoping that you would rearrange

Loving you the way that I do
Got a job to do to notice all the faces
Line after line, hearing me
Telling you to rearrange

Holding you down
Holding you down to one thing
Bringing you up
Bringing you up to something good
Hoping that you would rearrange

Loving you is ever so strange
Take a look at me and see what I have changed
Time after time, telling you
Telling you to rearrange

Holding you down
Holding you down to one thing
Bringing you up
Bringing you up to something good
Hoping that you would rearrange

Holding you down
Holding you down to one thing
Bringing you up
Bringing you up to something good
Hoping that you would rearrange
I’m hoping that you will rearrange
