I'm not going to say 
That you ever stop to think along the way 
But baby, be prepared to be surprised 
Baby, be prepared to be surprised 
It's all I know 

I'm not going to state 
Obvious observations everybody makes 
But baby, be prepared to be surprised 
Baby, be prepared to be surprised 
You better be prepared to be surprised 
It's all I know 

The weight of the world 
And the hurt and the dirt 
Can make you disturbed 
But I heard, but I heard 
When I wrap my arms around you 
Every mistake we made [bad word] 
When I wrap my arms around you 
Everything echoes a new song 

I'm not gonna whine 
Or scream out I'm so tired 
Through the mike 
But baby, be prepared to be surprised 
Baby, be prepared to be surprised 
You got to be prepared to be surprised 
It's all I know 

The weight of the world 
And the hurt and the dirt 
Can make you disturbed 
But I heard, but I heard 
When I wrap my arms around you 
Every mistake we made [bad word] 
When I wrap my arms around you 
Everything echoes a new song 

I'm not gonna lie 
Saying everyone's gonna be alright 
And fine until we die 
But what else can you do 
But hope and pray and save 
And we'll get by 

Be prepared to be surprised 
Better be prepared to be surprised 
You got to be prepared to be surprised 
It's all I know
