Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Nothing about you is typical
Nothing about you's predictable
You got me all twisted and confused
It's all new
Up till now, I thought I knew love
Nothing to lose and it's damaged
'Cause patterns will fall as quick as I do, but now
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bridges are burning
Baby, I'm learning a new way of thinking of love
I can see, nothing will be just like it was
Is that because?
[Chorus]
Baby, you're so unusual
Didn't anyone tell you you're supposed to break my heart?
I expect you to, so why haven't you?
Maybe you're not even human 'cause
Only an angel could be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual you
[Verse 2]
Been so many things when I was someone else
Boxer in the ring, tryna defend myself
And the private eye to see what's going on
That's long gone
When I'm with you, I can just be myself
You're always where you say you will be
Shocking, 'cause I never knew love like this could exist
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tables are turning, my heart is soaring
You'll never let me down
Answer my call, here after all
Never met anyone like you
[Chorus]
Baby, you're so unusual
Didn't anyone tell you you're supposed to break my heart?
I expect you to, so why haven't you?
Maybe you're not even human 'cause
Only an angel could be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual you
[Bridge]
Can't believe that I almost didn't try
When you called my name
Now everything is changed
[Chorus]
Baby, you're so unusual
Didn't anyone tell you you're supposed to break my heart?
I expect you to, so why haven't you?
Maybe you're not even human 'cause
Only an angel could be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual you
