Lyrics

(Hey, hey, hey.) The (F)sun is o ver the cit y, but it’s an orange day.

There is rea son for look ing up, but I’m feel ing down.

You see, I’ve got to catch a plane, won’t buy a tick et,

’cause it’s hard to just stop when you’re spin ning a round.

It’s a weird world, I don’t you know it.

It’s a weird

world, and it won’t slow down.

It’s a weird world no mat ter how you roll it.

Hey, hey, hey,

sweet ba by, there’s a way to stand up and fight it.

Hey, hey, hey, nev er give up, and don’t let it wear out

your love.

It’s a weird world,

yeah.

Sent a mes sage to a G I in the des ert;

said, “Thank you, man, for bring ing an oth er dawn.”

Back here, it’s her and me, and we’re hav ing our first ba by;

but (F)he’s out there, tak in’ ’em on.

It’s a weird

I’m clos ing my eyes, but I’m start ing to see, while he’s look ing at you she’s look ing at me.

The on ly thing it does is just keep me a way from you.

Show part of this place, but cheer if I die, but don’t let ’em take a way your (F)beau ti ful smile,

take a way your (F)beau ti ful smile,

take a way your beau

ti ful smile.

Hey, hey, hey,

sweet ba by, there’s a way

to stand up and fight it.

Hey, hey, hey,

sweet ba by, there’s a way

for you to de cide it.

Hey, hey, hey, nev er give up, and don’t let it wear out

your love.

(Hey, hey, It’s a weird

world, don’t you know it.

(Hey, hey, It’s a weird

world, don’t you know it.

(Hey, hey, It’s a weird

world, don’t you know

Hey, hey, hey.
