Took Me by Surprise

I was walking straight, head held high.

Coffee in my hand, no reason to sigh. Then you walked in,

Lord, I froze!

Like a spark just danced up my nose.

You lit a fire -in my chest. -Oh yeah, she's blessed.

-Caught me slipping in my best. -Didn't see that guest!

You took me by surprise like thunder on a sunny day.

Turned my calm into a swing, now I just can't look away.

You hit me like a groove I didn't know I missed.

Now my world's been shaken, all because we kissed.

Oh, you took me by surprise, by surprise, by surprise.

My heart skipped a beat, then two, then four.

I walked in cool, now I'm dancing out the door.

The sidewalk humming, birds in tune, and my soul starts singing like a brass band swoon. What did you do to me, boy?

-She can't sit still. -Turned my plain life into joy.

-Ooh, that thrill!

-You took me by surprise like sugar in my morning tea. I didn't need no warning, now you're all I see.

Hit me like a rhythm that I can't resist.

Now my heart's got hands and it's clenching a fist.

Ooh, you took me by surprise.

-Surprise, surprise, surprise. -Surprise.

Didn't plan for love, didn't write it down.

But the beat found me, spun me around.

Now my heels don't touch the floor.

I don't want calm no more.

You took me by surprise like a song I never knew.

Played one note and I just flew.

Like a tambourine in a gospel line, your love shook me down, now I feel so fine.

-Oh, you took me by surprise. -Took her, shook her, now she's high!

-Surprise, surprise, that sweet surprise.

-Oh yeah, didn't see it coming, but I'm so glad it came.

Love like lightning, never the same.

Oh, you took me, took me by surprise. . .
