By Tom Petty

Well, it can get you in the back boy
Or you can lie around in roses
Or maybe walk around wonderin'
You know, goin' through the motions

Chorus
Hey ain't love strange?
Hey ain't love strange?
Boy talk about changes
Ain't love strange?

. Cause it can make you string barb-wire
Around your little piece of ground
For emotional protection
Oh, but it's too late now

(Repeat Chorus)

Some keep tryin' it, giving and denying it
And I don't know why it is I guess you never quit
Tryin' to make sense of it

. Cause it can feel like perfection,
But never all the time
And you don't wanna be alone again
Oh my, my
