Isn't It Strange - Don McLean

Isn’t it strange how a man hides his feelings?

Sometimes the one that he loves never knows

And isn’t strange when she’s finally leaving

That it all starts to show when she goes

I passed my friend, he didn’t look the way he did before

I always knew he was a stronger man than me

I asked my friend if he needed any help from me

He said she’s all I need, I know you know

I only wish I had told her long ago

Isn’t it strange how a man hides his feelings?

Sometimes the one that he loves never knows

And isn’t strange when she’s finally leaving

That it all starts to show when she goes

I once found love, but never got beyond my selfish dreams

I took for granted that she’d be there every day

I closed her out, knowing she could never change he lovin' ways

Things fell apart and she got scared

I wonder if she knew how much I really cared

Isn’t it strange how a man hides his feelings?

Sometimes the one that he loves never knows

And isn’t strange when she’s finally leaving

That it all starts to show when she goes, starts to go away

Yeah, isn’t it strange when she’s finally leaving

That it all starts to show when she goes

You may find love, if you do you’re fortunate

'Cause that’s the rarest thing in all the world you’ll find

Someone who cares, who shares the good an bad of it

You just make sure she understands how much you care

And wherever you may go she will be there

Isn’t it strange how a man hides his feelings?

Sometimes the one that he loves never knows

And isn’t strange when she’s finally leaving

That it all starts to show when she goes, starts to go away
