[music]

>> Love is the strangest thing.

>> [music]

>> Just when you think you've finally let

go,

it comes [music] back to you.

>> Movie star, deep [music] blue eyes,

[singing]

and how you would wear a perfect

disguise. He drove [singing] way too

fast.

Shelby Cobra wasn't [music] meant to

last.

>> [music]

>> Roll out the [music] carpet for us, but

you won't share it. I guess you're

threatened by me. You

[music and singing] won't admit it.

The little things that you did, that

made me want you. [music] The fire was

so intense. Oh, no, love can be so

bizarre.

>> [music]

>> Yeah, only [music] love can be so

bizarre.

Only [music] love can be so bizarre.

I know [music] I left you behind, and

you resent me. A thousand reasons why

you could never have me. The thought

[music] of being with you is [singing]

so indecent. I guess you'll never know

[music] my dirty little secret.

>> [music]

>> Oh, no, love can be so bizarre.

Yeah, only love can be so bizarre.

Only love can be so bizarre. [music]

Only love can so bizarre.

Only love can be so bizarre.

>> [music]

>> Movie star,

>> [music]

>> deep blue [singing] eyes,

and Hollywood were a perfect [music]

prize.

He drove way too fast. [music]

Shelby [singing] Cobra wasn't meant to

last.

>> [music]

>> Now you're gone,

I feel so empty. Why do you tempt me?

Why do you tempt me?

Only [music] love can be so bizarre.

Yeah, only love can be so [music]

bizarre.

>> [music]

>> Only love can be so bizarre.

>> [music]

>> Only love can be so bizarre.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Only love can be so bizarre.

Why do you tempt me?

Why do you tempt [music] me?

Why do you tempt me?
