Please mister can't you help me try to find my baby's house   It's three in the morning in the pouring rain   I can't find the house and I forgot the number   But I gotta give her these roses to relieve her pain   Don't laugh . . . just tell me you've been there before   So we fight but we fight every evening   And I tell you every morning I just love her more      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      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   And tell me what day it is anyway   Don't laugh . . . just tell me you hear what I say   I love her so much I don't even know what planet I'm on   Love her so much I wish she'd just go away      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      I know that sometimes love goes   But sometimes it comes back to getcha   And when love grows   It grows like a flower or grows like a tumor   Love shows that God has a sense of humor      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
