Stranger Than Fiction Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Please mister can't you help me try to find my baby's house 

It's three in the morning in the pouring rain 

I can't find the house and i forgot the number 

But I gotta give her these roses to relieve her pain 

Don't laugh, just tell me you've been there before 

So we fight but we fight every evening 

And I tell you every morning I just love her more 

And life goes on, filled with disasters and friction 

And life can be strange 

But love can be stranger than fiction 

Only love can be stranger than fiction 

Excuse me operator, tell me what time it is 

Me and my lover been in bed all day 

I think I strained a muscle 

I didn't know I had 

And tell me what day it is anyway 

Don't laugh, just tell me you hear what I say 

I love her so much I don't even know what planet I'm on 

Love her so much I wish she'd just go away 

And life goes on, filled with bizarre contradictions 

And life can be strange 

But love can be stranger than fiction 

Only love can be stranger than fiction 

I know that sometimes love goes 

But sometimes it comes back to getcha 

And when love grows 

It grows like a flower or grows like a tumor 

Love shows that God has a sense of humor 

Life goes on, ever immune to prediction 

And life can be strange 

But love can be stranger than fiction 

Only love can be stranger than fiction
