What a Surprise
Unexpected Love's Revelation: What a Surprise
Lyrics
When I was first introduced to you
Initial introduction to the person being addressed
It was a hot summer night and
Setting the scene: a memorable summer night
I was just having fun
Both parties were enjoying themselves
I thought you were too
The belief that the other person was also having fun
Just the sound of your voice
The voice of the person had a positive impact
Gave me sweet sensations
The voice evoked pleasant feelings
But I thought I couldn't win
Initial reluctance to open up emotionally
I wouldn't let you in
Refusal to let the person in emotionally
How did you do?
Questioning how the other person managed to affect them
I didn't see it in your eyes
The emotions were not visibly expressed by the person
Your approach didn't let me know
The approach of the person was not clear
You gave me time to think it over
The other person gave time to reconsider
And my mind's made up
Decision made to let go of inhibitions
I'm gonna give it up and let it go
Commitment to surrender and move forward emotionally
(What a surprise)
Expressing surprise at how the relationship unfolded unexpectedly
You just came into my life
-(What a surprise)
-Here before my very eyes
-(What a surprise)
-Never thought I'd give my heart
-(What a surprise)
-You have taken every part
-Like the coming of the night
Commitment to reciprocate and treat the person well
You can count on me to always treat you right
-I'm gonna do my part
-Like the one that comes with dawn
-I can count on you
-You always turn me on
-You open up my heart
The person opened up emotionally
I was looking through the window
Contemplating feelings and the tenderness of the interaction
Tryin' to find a reason
-Why I shoudn't let my feelings grow
-Tenderly you touch me
-So nice you didn't rush me
-Tonight the world will know
-(What a surprise)
Reiterating surprise at emotional involvement and capture of the heart
Have you here before my eyes
-(What a surprise)
-You have captured me inside
-(What a surprise)
-Never thought I'd give my heart
-(What a surprise)
-You have captured every part
-You loved me on the telephone
Recalling affectionate moments and uncertainty about emotions
Your conversation went on and on
-Without a word I heard you say
-That in your arms is where I belong
-You were in charge, I was in love
-You had me hookin', I didn't know
-I loved your heart, you loved me slow
-This won't be easy come easy go
-(What a surprise)
Expressing astonishment and joy at the unexpected appearance and presence of the person
Just like magic you appear
-(What a surprise)
-It's so good to have you here
-How did you do?
Reiteration of initial surprise and decision to let go emotionally
I didn't see it in your eyes
-Your approach didn't let me know
-You gave me time to think it over
-And my mind's made up
-I'm gonna give it up and let it go
-(What a surprise)
Surprise at the depth of emotional involvement and newfound clarity
Never thought I'd go this far
-(What a surprise)
-Oh baby, you are my shining star
-(What a surprise)
-Suddenly it's all so clear
-(What a surprise)
-No more doubts and no more fear
-(What a surprise)
Desire for a deeper connection and appreciation for the love received
Take me all the way
-(What a surprise)
-What a surprise, you are here with me
-(What a surprise)
-Oh baby, oh baby
-(What a surprise)
-Your good lovin' makes me wanna shout
-(What a surprise)
Expressing surprise and joy at the unexpected love received
