Strange Thing - Mary Black

Once in a while I can smile that old smile

And I know I’m in trouble again

Even though you get older that old tap on the shoulder

Will turn you again and again

I couldn’t change it, I’ve never arranged it

That’s what the strange bit’s always been

II

O give me the time and the sweet taste of wine

And I’ll tell you that story again

Of the look in his eye long before all the lies

And the parting began to begin

III

Strange thing this ol' love business

Strange thing this ol' love

Strange thing this love business

Look what love has done to us

IV

O the making you cry and the saying good-bye

And the whole damn thing is insane

Even though you get older that old tap on the shoulder

Will turn you again and again

Chorus & repeat III
