Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Verse 1:
Please mister can you help me try to find my baby's house -
It's 3 in the morning and it's pourin' rain.
I can't find the house and I forgot the number,
But I gotta give her these roses to relieve her pain
Pre-Chorus 1:
Don't laugh, just tell me you've been there before
So we fight, but we fight every evening,
And I tell ya every morning I just love her more
Chorus 1:
And life goes on, filled with disasters and friction
And life can be strange
But love can be stranger than fiction
Only love can be stranger than fiction
Na Na Bridge:
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
Verse 2:
Excuse me operator, tell me what time it is -
Me and my lover been in bed all day
I think I strained a muscle I didn't know I had
Mmm, tell me what day is it anyway?
Pre-Chorus 2:
Don't laugh, just tell me you hear what I'm saying
I love her so much I don't even know what planet I'm on
Love her so much, wish she'd just go away
Chorus 2:
And life goes on, filled with bizarre contradictions
And life can be strange
But love can be stranger than fiction
Only love can be stranger than fiction
Bridge:
I know that sometimes love goes
but sometimes it comes back to get ya
And when love grows, it grows like a flower
it grows like a tumor
Love shows that god has a sense of humor
Pre-Chorus bridge:
Chorus 3:
Ya know that life goes on, ever immune to prediction
And life can be strange
But love can be stranger than fiction
Only love can be stranger than fiction
Stranger than fiction
Stranger than fiction
Stranger than fiction
Stranger than fiction
Stranger than fiction
