08. Strange Behavior
Macy Gray Lyrics

This is the story,
Introducing the story of two people in love.

About two people
The story revolves around two individuals.

In love.
The two people are in love.

We were happily married,
The two individuals were happily married.

Until he waved a gun at me.
Their happiness was ruined when the husband threatened her with a gun.

I said what's with all your strange behavior.
She questions his bizarre actions.

He said I love you baby
He claims to love her.

But you got a big insurance policy
He points out that she has a large insurance policy.

And I really
He has a strong desire to acquire.

Need the paper.
He needs the money from the insurance policy.

[Chorus:]
The chorus of the song.

Strange behavior by the sea. (se-e-e)
Referencing the odd behavior by the sea.

He'd be here
He should be present.

But he's deceased
But he is dead.

Strange behavior
Continuation of the strange behavior referenced in the previous line.

I had a big insurance policy
She also has a large insurance policy.

And he had a big insurance policy,
He also has a large insurance policy.

Too!
Continuation of the previous thought.

I said baby if you get a job
She suggests he get a job.

You would not have to shoot me now.
If he had a job, he wouldn't need to resort to violence.

He said Oh My God Your such a hata.
He responds negatively to her suggestion.

But then he chickened out,
He ultimately backs down.

I took the gun and shot him down
She takes the gun and shoots him instead.

Cuz I really need the papa.
She needs the money (papa).

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats once again.

What was I to do
She ponders what her options were.

Sometimes its me or you
Sometimes in situations like these, it's either her or him.

I swear that I loved you baby
She genuinely loved him.

All I have to say so
All that needs to be said.

I say so
Referring to the previous line.

Cuz Im rich now
She is now rich due to the insurance money.

Shh!
A word to be quiet.

Drove his body to the sea
She drives his body to the sea.

I kissed him on his cold cheek
She says her final goodbyes.

I said I guess I see you later
She says goodbye to him and bids farewell.

And the people all asking me
People are curious and questioning her.

I say he'd be here but he deceased
She covers up the truth about killing him.

Then I go and spend my papa-a
She goes and spends her money.

He'd be here
Once again, he should be present.

He's dead!
But he is now dead.
