Hey Mr. Curiosity Is it true what they've been saying about you Are you killing me You took care of the cat already And for those who think it's heavy Is it the truth Or is it only gossip
Call it mystery or anything Just as long as you call me I sent the message on did you get it when I left it See this catastrophic event It wasn't meant to mean no harm But to think there's nothing wrong is a problem
I'm looking for love this time Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry Love is a mystery Mr. Curious...
Jason Mraz - Mr. Curiosity
Come back to me Mr. waiting never patient can't you see That I'm the same the way you left me In a hurry to spell check me And I'm underlined already in envy green And then to red And I've forgotten what you've said Will you stop working for the dead and return Mr. curious well I need some inspiration It's my birthday and I cannot find no cause for celebration The scenario is grave but I'll be braver when you save me From this situation laden with hearsay
I'm looking for love this time Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry And love is a mystery Mr. Curiosity Be Mr.. please Do come and find me
Jason Mraz - Mr. Curiosity
I'm looking for love this time Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry Trying not to ask why 'Cause love is a mystery Mr. curiosity Be Mr.. please Do come and find me Love is blinding when your timing's never right Oh who am I to beg for difference Finding love in a just instant But I don't mind at least I tried, well I tried...
