Lyrics

It’s not un u su al to be (Am7)loved by an y one.

It’s not un u su al to have (Am7)fun with an y one.

But when I see you hang ing a bout with an y one,

it’s not un u su al to (G)see me cry.

I (D7)wan na die.

It’s not un u su al to go (Am7)out at an y time,

but when I see you out and a (Am7)bout it’s such a crime.

If you should ev er wan na be loved by an y one,

it’s not un u su al, it (G)see me cry.

I (D7)wan na die.

(G)hap pens ev ’ry day.

No (Am7)mat ter what you say,

you’ll find it hap pens all the time.

Love will nev er do

(Am7)what you want it to.

Why can’t this cra zy love be mine?

It’s not un u su al to be (Am7)mad with an y one.

It’s not un u su al to be (Am7)sad with an y one.

But if I ev er find that you’ve changed at an y time,

it’s not un u su al to (G)find that I’m in love with you.
