Surprise
Gnarls Barkley Lyrics
It's cool being the only one, but it's lonely
I could have fallen in the stove
A thousand times before if only someone had known me
They say there's someone for everyone
Oh plus the word will be never done
When all you need is to be meet half way but nobody tries
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
Needless to say it's a wonderful day
I just noticed how nice it was to know ya
Oh, but be ready to sacrifice
If you love him you should tell him twice
Because when everything that's alive
Ultimately dies oh, Lord
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Somebody's watchin' maybe you want 'em to see you
But with your regrets and secrets
You don't really want them to be you
Well you can make believe I'm that
And for now I'll be just fine
But when the child grows up to have more than just your eyes
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Now the ending to every story is most enchanting
Now whether it's heaven or hell I wear it well
Please forgive me for rambling I just wanted ya'll
To know that I don't know it all
So when that big o'l smile ends up being just a disguise
Don't be surprised
Don't be surprised
Oh, Lord
Don't be surprised
Oh, oh, Lord
Don't be surprised
I said don't be
Don't be surprised
There's nothing left in here
That's surprising baby prising baby

The group consists of CeeLo Green (vocals) and Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton (multiple instruments). The group is best known for the international smash hit "Crazy".
"Crazy" - which was their first single - debuted at #1 on the British pop charts on April 2, 2006. It was the first #1 UK single to be obtained solely through Internet downloads. The success of the single in the UK was due largely to its use in a promotional trailer for Radio 1 across all of the BBC TV channels prior to the single's release. 'Crazy' stayed at #1 for almost 9 weeks.
The buzz for "Crazy" helped generate a lot of press coverage of their debut album, St. Elsewhere, which was released on May 9, 2006.
The album is seen as a cross-over between hip-hop, rock and soul. Both artists have previously been known to have a quirky experimental side, moving between different genres of music.
Producer DJ Danger Mouse began his career doing remixes of indie rock artists like Neutral Milk Hotel and downbeat instrumental music under the 'Pelican City' alias. He later went on to emphasize more hip-hop production: most notably his The Grey Album, a remix of Black Album, with samples exclusively from The White Album; 2005's Dangerdoom collaboration with MF Doom; and, most recently, the double platinum Demon Days.
Gnarls Barkley singer Cee Lo Green started out in the classic Southern rap group Goodie Mob, but later developed a unique funk-inspired soulful style of singing which developed on his solo albums.
Their new album The Odd Couple was released March 18, 2008.
