Chicago's,
"Baby What a Big Surprise"
I thought that you were only faking me
And like before, my heart was taken in
...
But here today your song has changed my mind
...
Shooby dooby wants to be alone
It was a little more than I could take
Oh whoa oh who
And you can't mistake
Ooh ooh
Shooby dooby want me in the morning
...
Now and then just like before
I think about the love I've thrown away
But now with love it matters anyway
I thought that you were only faking it
And like before, my heart was taking it
...
But here today you've softly changed my mind
...
(Shooby dooby wah)
Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Oh whoa oh whoa
Then you came to stay
Ooh ooh
(Shooby dooby wah)
Hold me in the morning
...
Now and then just like before
I think about the love I've thrown away
But now it doesn't matter anyway
I prefer my lyrics, where the background vocals become the singer's pet name for his lady love! I think 'softly changed my mind' is a little wimpy - even for Cetera. In my world, his girl is a siren singing to him, then being cool to him, then loving him (I think)!
Chicago's,
"Baby, What A Big Surprise"
Baby, what a wig so high.
Baby, what a big surprise.
Chicago's,
"Baby, What A Big Surprise"
But here today it's soft and changed my life
But here today you've softly changed my mind
Chicago's,
"Baby, What A Big Surprise"
Just to be alarmed
Was to be a little more than architect
Then in Kansas City
Then in Illinois,
To love me in the 'I could do'
Help me find my way
Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Then you came to stay
Hold me in the morn
Love me in the afternoon
Help me find my way
Chicago's,
"Baby, What A Big Surprise"
Meggy, what a big surprise
or
Maggie, what a big surprise
or
Maybe, what a big surprise
or
Lady, what a big surprise
Baby, what a big surprise
Chicago's,
"Baby, What A Big Surprise"
Now we blend the night before, I think about the love we've thrown away
But now it doesn't matter anyway
Now and then, just like before, I think about the love we've thrown away
But now it doesn't matter anyway
Chicago's,
"Baby, What a Big Surprise"
Help me find L.A.
Help me find my way
Chicago's,
"Baby, What a Big Surprise"
Right before my buried eyes
Right before my very eyes
