It's Not Unusual
Tom Jones (Karaoke) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry
Oh I wanna' die

It's not unusual to go out at any time
But when I see you out and about it's such a crime
If you should ever want to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual

It happens every day
No matter what you say
You find it happens all the time
Love will never do what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine

It's not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual, to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you've changed at anytime




It's not unusual to find out that I'm in love with you
Whoa oh oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones (Karaoke) talks about the complexities of love and how it can make us feel. The lyrics say that it's not unusual to be loved or to have fun with someone, but when the singer sees the person they love hanging out with someone else, it makes them cry and feel like they want to die. The second part of the song talks about how going out is not unusual, but when the singer sees the person they love out and about with others, it feels like a crime. The lyrics convey how no matter what you say, love happens all the time, but it doesn't always behave the way we want it to.


The song's chorus has a catchy tune and emphasizes the point that love can drive us crazy. The singer says it's not unusual to be mad or sad with anyone, but if they ever find out that the person they love has changed, it would not be unusual for them to fall in love with that person. The song conveys how love has the power to consume us entirely, and we cannot escape its lure.


It's interesting to note that "It's Not Unusual" was not originally written for Tom Jones. It was written by Les Reed and Gordon Mills, and they initially offered it to Sandie Shaw, who turned it down. Jones was then asked to record the song, and it became his breakthrough hit. The song went to number one in the UK and number ten in the US, making Jones an international star. It has since become one of his most well-known and beloved songs.
