It took me by surprise
However could I know
That one look into your eyes I could never let you go
Lovers, you can never tell
I was never trying to fall in love when I fell
It took me by surprise
You caught me off my guard
You knocked me off my feet
When I finally came around
My heart declared defeat
Lovers you cannot predict
I was never trying to fall in love when I slipped
I took me by surprise
First time I met you
I could hardly believe
Couldn’t forget you
But I had to let you leave
Second time I saw you
I had to ask
For knowing what my heart knew there was no turning back
Lovers be humbleI wasn’t trying to fall in love
Lovers they stumble
It took me by surprise
The lyrics TOOK ME BY SURPRISE of JILL BARBER is also present in the album Mischievous moon (2011)
