By Surprise lyrics

I`d like to take you by surprise at the grocery store
Grab you by the hand and step on the electric door
Leave the shopping cart right where it is
I betcha somebody`s got the same list
I wanna take us away from all this to a distant shore.

I`d leave the car by the curb with the motor on
The tape deck playin` our favorite love song
And you`d say "What in the world?"
And smile just like a little girl
And I`d say "I can`t tell you now but it won`t be long."

Chorus:
I know it sounds funny, but it`s true...
I get so busy I forget I`m in love with you
And every now and then we need to get away to get close again.

Up in the air in a window seat
Your head on my shoulder and a blanket around our feet
We could leave the kids at home
And if you get worried we could telephone
We need a weekend of fun for under two hundred dollars complete.

(Chorus)

There we would be in a sunny land
We`d lie on the beach and you could wiggle your toes in the sand
A tropical drink late at night
And a midnight dip if the temperature`s right
The best things turn out better if they never were planned.

(Chorus)
