[00:25.81]There was this guy, he was down on his luck
[00:28.37]He was truly poverty's child
[00:30.62]Well, he had no home and he had no car
[00:35.04]And he wore a weary smile
[00:38.64]Moved out to LA, knocked around for a while
[00:41.68]But he was going nowhere
[00:44.45]Then he did this movie and it did really well
[00:48.39]Now he's a millionaire
[00:51.25]See, life (ooh life) is a curious thing
[00:57.99]See, life (ooh life) is a curious thing
[01:08.47]I know a man who could paint the town red
[01:10.88]Had a college degree in fun
[01:14.18]'Til the doorbell rang and a long-lost flame said
[01:18.30]"This little boy is your son"
[01:21.33]Gave him a suitcase and a bear
[01:24.48]Left 'em in a cloud of dust
[01:26.66]Now he's checking out schools and driving carpools
[01:31.16]Learning to adjust
[01:33.61]He says life (ooh life) is a curious thing, yeah
[01:40.34]You see, life (ooh life) is a curious thing
[01:47.53]Well, I know that it can be demanding
[01:50.78]I know that it can be unkind
[01:53.51]I don't really understand it
[01:56.76]But Lord sure knows I try
[02:03.78]See, life (ooh life) is a curious thing, yeah
[02:10.43]See, life (ooh life) is a curious thing
[02:21.29]Let me tell you 'bout a kid I knew
[02:24.05]A pudgy girl back in school
[02:26.36]She had greasy hair and geeky glasses
[02:30.52]Object of ridicule
[02:34.49]The other day in the check out line
[02:37.08]They were ringing up my rice and beans
[02:39.39]There she was, a pretty little face
[02:43.41]On the cover of a magazine
[02:46.51]Hmm, and I said life (ooh life) is a curious thing, yeah
[02:52.33]I said life (ooh life) is a curious thing
[02:59.70]Well, I know that it can be demanding
[03:02.77]I know that it can be unkind
[03:05.92]I don't really understand it
[03:09.34]But Lord sure knows I try
[03:13.66]Just goes to show that you never know
[03:16.20]Just what tomorrow may bring
[03:19.11]But I'll tell you this that what it is
[03:22.95]Is seldom what it seems
[03:26.10]'Cause life (ooh life) is a curious thing
[03:31.45]I say life (ooh life) is a curious thing
[03:39.13]See, life (ooh life) is a curious thing
[03:44.28]I say life (ooh life) is a curious thing
