More Surprised Than Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I bought a Harvard sweatshirt off the Goodwill rack
Makes some people wonder if I'm smart like that
And that guitar layin' on the chair is worn out like my boots
Makes it look like I can play it better than I do
[Chorus]
But nobody buys it when we walk in
They say there ain't no way that she's with him
In a world where nothing is what it seems
Ain't no one more surprised than me
[Verse 2]
It's funny how some strangers like to size me up
This attitude it makes me street and this accent makes me dumb
I can tell 'em I've got pirate blood or ancient royalty
Thеre's no end to the liеs that I could get 'em to believe
[Chorus]
But nobody buys it when we walk in
They say there ain't no way that she's with him
In a world where nothing is what it seems
Ain't no one more surprised than me
[Instrumental Break]
I bought a Harvard sweatshirt off the Goodwill rack
Makes some people wonder if I'm smart like that
And that guitar layin' on the chair is worn out like my boots
Makes it look like I can play it better than I do
[Chorus]
But nobody buys it when we walk in
They say there ain't no way that she's with him
In a world where nothing is what it seems
Ain't no one more surprised than me
[Verse 2]
It's funny how some strangers like to size me up
This attitude it makes me street and this accent makes me dumb
I can tell 'em I've got pirate blood or ancient royalty
Thеre's no end to the liеs that I could get 'em to believe
[Chorus]
But nobody buys it when we walk in
They say there ain't no way that she's with him
In a world where nothing is what it seems
Ain't no one more surprised than me
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Must've done somethin' right
Somethin' right
In another life
[Chorus]
'Cause nobody buys it when we walk in
They say there ain't no way that she could be with him
In a world where nothing is what it seems
Ain't no one more surprised than me
Oh, ain't no one more surprised than me
Must've done somethin' right
Somethin' right
In another life
[Chorus]
'Cause nobody buys it when we walk in
They say there ain't no way that she could be with him
In a world where nothing is what it seems
Ain't no one more surprised than me
Oh, ain't no one more surprised than me
About
Genius Annotation
Standing out from the rest of the songs on Dangerous: The Double Album for its banjo-filled folky flair, “More Surprised Than Me” is Morgan’s tale of self-deprecation and his shocked reaction to being with a woman “out of his league.”
Here, Morgan reveals his successful efforts in deceiving people of his social status and abilities, but explains how getting anyone to believe his actual relationship status with his partner is impossible.
As a deep cut from a best-selling album, the song spent one week on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at #66.
To promote his album, Morgan uploaded a live performance of the song as part of his “Dangerous Sessions” video series.
