[Intro: Howie & All]
Weird world, weird world
Hey hey hey
[Verse 1: Nick]
The sun is over the city
But it's an orange day
There is reason for looking up
But I'm feeling down
You see I've got to catch a plane
Won't buy a ticket
'Cause it's hard to just stop
When you're spinning around
[Chorus: Nick, AJ with Howie, All]
It's a weird world
Don't you know it?
It's a weird world
And it won't slow down
It's a weird world
No matter how you roll it
Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
To stand up and fight it
Hey hey hey
Never give up and don't let it
Wear out your love
[Interlude: AJ]
It's a weird world, yeah
[Verse 2: Nick with Kevin]
Send a message
To a G.I. in the desert
Said, "thank you man
For bringing another dawn"
Back here it's her and me
And we're having our first baby
He's out there taking them on
[Chorus: Nick, AJ, (AJ with Howie) & All]
It's a weird world
And I know you know it
It's a weird world
And it won't slow down
It's a weird world
No matter how you roll it
Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
To stand up and fight it
Hey hey hey
Never give up and don't let it
Wear out (your love)
[Bridge: Nick with All]
I'm closing my eyes
But I'm starting to see
While he's looking at you
She was looking at me
The only thing it does
Is just keep me away from you
Sure, part of this place
Would cheer if I die
But don't let it take away
Your beautiful smile
Take away your beautiful smile
Take away your beautiful smile
[Chorus: All, AJ, Nick & AJ]
Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
To stand up and fight it
(Hey hey hey!)
Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
For you to decide it
Hey hey hey
Never give up and don't let it
Wear out your love!
[Outro: Nick & All]
Hey hey hey
It's a weird world
Don't you know it?
Hey hey hey
It's a weird world
Don't you know it?
Hey hey hey
It's a weird world
Don't you know it?
Hey hey hey
Weird world, weird world
Hey hey hey
[Verse 1: Nick]
The sun is over the city
But it's an orange day
There is reason for looking up
But I'm feeling down
You see I've got to catch a plane
Won't buy a ticket
'Cause it's hard to just stop
When you're spinning around
[Chorus: Nick, AJ with Howie, All]
It's a weird world
Don't you know it?
It's a weird world
And it won't slow down
It's a weird world
No matter how you roll it
Hey hey hey
Sweet baby
There's a way
To stand up and fight it
Hey hey hey
Never give up and don't let it
Wear out your love

Don't you know it?
