Billy Joel - surprises

노래는 자신의 과거와 실수를 돌아보며 후회의 감정이 들지만, 그래도 변화는 자연스러운 것이라는 메시지를 전한다
친구들도 변화한 본인을 인식하지 못하지만, 이제는 분명한 사실이 되었음을 알린다
결국 이런 모든 것들은 예상되었어야 한다고 말한다

Don't get excited
Don't say a word
Nobody noticed
Nothing was heard
It was committed discreetly
It was handled so neatly
And it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know

Break all the records
Burn the cassettes
I'd be lying if I told you
That I had no regrets
There were so many mistakes
And what a difference it makes
But still it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know

I said it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know

Don't look now but you have changed
Your best friends wouldn't tell you

Now it's apparent
Now it's a fact
So marshal your forces
For another attack You were so young and naive
I know it's hard to believe
But now it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know

No it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know

What has it cost you
What have you won
The sins of the fathers
Are the sins of the sons
It was always within you
It will always continue
But it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know
I said it shouldn't surprise you at all
You know
