Lyrics Curious Thing - 2022 Remaster - Amy Grant

There was this guy, he was down on his luck, he was truly poverty's child
Well, he had no home, and he had no car, and he wore a weary smile
Moved out to L.A., knocked around for a while, but he was going nowhere
Then he did this movie, and it did really well, now he's a millionaire
You see, life (ooh, life) is a curious thing, yeah
You see, life, ooh, life is a curious thing

I know a man who could paint the town red, had a college degree in fun
'Til the doorbell rang and a long-lost flame said, "This little boy is your son"
Gave him a suitcase and a beer, and left him in a cloud of dust
Now he's checking out schools and driving carpools, learning to adjust, huh
He says life (ooh, life) is a curious thing, yeah
He said life, ooh, life is a curious thing

Well, I know that it can be demanding, I know that it can be unkind
I don't really understand it, but Lord sure knows I try
You see, life (ooh, life) is a curious thing, yeah
I say life, ooh, life is a curious thing

Let me tell you 'bout a kid I knew, a pudgy girl back in school
She had greasy hair and geeky glasses, object of ridicule
The other day in the check-out line, they were ringing up my rice and beans
There she was, just a pretty little face, on the cover of a magazine, mm
And I said life (ooh, life) is a curious thing, yeah
I say life, ooh, life is a curious thing

Well, I know that it can be demanding, I know that it can be unkind
I don't really understand it, but Lord sure knows I try
Just goes to show that you never know just what tomorrow may bring
But I'll tell you this that what it is, seldom what it seems
'Cause life (ooh, life) is a curious thing, yeah
I say life, ooh, life is a curious thing

See, life (ooh, life) is a curious thing
I say life, ooh, life is a curious thing
