  • I am back, this time, I'm the big surprise
    And I'm hiding behind your sofa
    I'm the culture shock, temporary block
    And I?ll love you for the next five minutes

    I'm your magazine, ?'cause you read me clean
    Without taking any time for pictures
    I'm your hand grenade and your lemonade
    ?'cause I?ll blow up and leave you soured

    Find somebody with a working car
    And drive them crazy, too
    The big surprise is me

    I worked extra hard to pick your birthday card
    You just threw it out and kept my money
    I got up at six to make your favorite dish
    So I sank when you said, you weren't hungry

    Filed your tax return, let some candles burn
    Played Mozart, to make your plants grow
    Then I clipped the trees, got down on my knees
    Not to work, just to pray, you'd see me

    Find somebody who will paint your house
    And gloss them over, too
