Isn’t It Strange Lyrics

Samantha Mumba

Isnt it strange
How life is so real
Everytime you meet someone you feel
Someone you hold every night
The way that it makes you feel
Just a kiss in the dark
Made a change in my heart
Why did I wait so long
To find a love so very strong
It was so right from the start
Like a hit in the charts
How you walked the way you talked
The way you said you wanted me baby
Cos everytime you walk away
It makes me wanna say
Isnt it strange
How life is so real
Everytime you meet someone you feel
Someone you hold every night
The way that it makes you feel
Isnt it strange
How life is so real
Everytime you come home at night
Well turn down the lights
Will make it so right
The way that it makes you feel
Makes you feel
Its making eyes
Im very slow
Let this be love let it grow
Youre reaching things within my heart
I never knew were there from the start
This feels so right
It cant be wrong
But I dont think I could carry on
If you left me for somebody else
Or leave me waiting on your shelf
Cos everytime you walk away
It makes me wanna say
Isnt it strange
How life is so real
Everytime you meet someone you feel
Someone you hold every night
The way that it makes you feel
Isnt it strange
How life is so real
Everytime you come home at night
Well turn down the lights
Will make it so right
The way that it makes you feel
Makes you feel
Isnt it strange
How life is so real
Everytime you meet someone you feel
Someone you hold every night
The way that it makes you feel
Isnt it strange
How life is so real
Everytime you come home at night
Well turn down the lights
Will make it so right
The way that it makes you feel
Isnt it strange isnt it strange
How life is so real how life is real
Everytime you meet someone you feel
Everytime you meet someone
Someone you hold every night every night
The way that it makes you feel you come home at night
Isnt it strange how life is real
How life is so real
Everytime you come home at night
Well turn down the lights well turn down the lights
Will make it so right turn down the lights
The way that it makes you feel
Makes you feel
