Surprise, Surprise
Deceptive Love Unveiled: The Rolling Stones' Surprise, Surprise Revelations
Lyrics
Heard from friends of mine
Heard rumors from friends about your dishonesty
You been telling lies
Accusation of spreading untruths
How I was wrapped up in you
Reference to a past romantic involvement
But surprise, surprise
Unexpected revelation or turn of events
Surprise, surprise
Reiteration of the surprising nature of the situation
I never wanted you that bad
Denial of strong desire for the person
'Cause I knew you was telling lies
Awareness of the lies being told
Knew you was telling lies
Confirmation of the falsehoods
I could see it in your eyes
Perception of deception through the eyes
Why did you have to
Rhetorical question about the motivation behind deception
Go and fool after
Expressing disappointment in the deceit
We had got along so fine
Reflection on a previously positive relationship
But surprise, surprise
Reiteration of the surprising nature of the situation
Surprise, surprise
Emphasizing familiarity with deceit
Ain't nothing strange to me
Claiming to be unfazed by deception
Knew you was telling lies
Acknowledgment of ongoing lies
Knew you was telling lies
Reconfirmation of the falsehoods
I could see it in your eyes
Perception of ongoing deception through the eyes
Knew you was telling lies
Reiteration of awareness of lies
Knew you was telling lies
Confirmation of ongoing dishonesty
I could see it in your eyes
Continued perception of deceit through the eyes
I hope you're proud of
Questioning the pride in unfaithful actions
All your chasin' 'round
Disapproval of chasing around while thinking the speaker was alone
Thinkin' I was alone all night
Assumption of being alone contradicted by surprise
But surprise, surprise
Reiteration of the surprising nature of the situation
Surprise, surprise
Emphasizing self-deception
You're only foolin' yourself
Awareness that the lies only fool the person spreading them
'Cause I knew you was telling lies
Confirmation of the awareness of lies
Knew you was telling lies
Reconfirmation of the falsehoods
I could see it in your eyes
Perception of deception through the eyes
Yeah, baby why did you have to go fool around
Rhetorical question expressing disappointment
After we got along so fine
Reflecting on the positive aspects of the relationship
I knew you was tellin' lies and tellin' jive
Acknowledgment of lies and deceit
Yes I did
Confirmation of understanding the dishonesty
We got along so fine
Recollection of a positive connection despite lies
But I knew you was telling lies
Reconfirmation of ongoing falsehoods
Knew you was talkin' jive
Acknowledgment of deceptive talk
I could see it in your eyes
Continued perception of deceit through the eyes
