  Oh  hello Mr. Soul I droped by to pick up a reason
  For the thought  that I'd caught that my head is the event of the season
  Why in crowds  just a trace of my face should seem so pleasin'
  I'll cop  out to the change but a stranger  is putting the tease  on
   x2
  I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter
  I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
  Any girl in the world could have esaily known me better
  She said 'You're stange, but don't change' and I let her
 
  In a while well the smile on my face turned to plaster
  Stick around while the clown who was sick does the trick of disaster
  For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
  Is it strange I should change? I don't know - why don't you ask her
  Is it strange  I should change? I don't know
  Is it strange  I should change? I don't know

 This song is weird. It's in the key of E and in 4/4 time.

 Oh, hello,  Mister Soul, I dropped  by to pick up a rea_son
For the thought  that I caught that my head  is the e_vent of the
sea_son.
Why in crowds  just a trace of my face could seem so  pleasin'
I'll  cop out  to the change but a stranger  is putting the  tease  on.
 I was down on a frown when the messanger brought me a letter.
 I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her.
 Any girl in the world could have easily known me better.
 She said, "You're strange, but don't change," and I let her.
 In a while, will the smile on my face turn to plaster,
 Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster.
 For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster.
 Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
 Hope this helps, I know it's confusing. Next time ask for an easier song!

I was down on a frown when the messanger brought me a letter.
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her.
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better.
She said, "You're strange, but don't change," and I let her.

In a while, will the smile on my face turn to plaster,
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster.
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster.
Is it strange I should change?  I don't know, why don't you ask her?

Hope this helps, I know it's confusing.  Next time ask for an easier song!
