Unusual You Lyrics
Nothing about you is typical
Nothing about you's predictable
You got me all twisted and confused (It's all new)
Up 'til now, I thought I knew love
Nothing to lose and it's damaged 'cause
Patterns will fall as quick as I do (But now)
[Pre-Chorus]
Bridges are burning
Baby, I'm learning a new way of thinking of
Love, I can see, nothing will be just like it was
Is that because?
[Chorus]
Baby, you're so unusual
Didn't anyone tell you you're supposed to
Break my heart, I expect you to
So why haven't you?
Maybe you're not even human 'cause
Only an angel could be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual you
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Been so many things when I was someone else
Boxer in the ring, tryna defend myself
And the private eye to see what's going on (That's long gone)
When I'm with you, I can just be myself
You're always where you say you will be
Shocking, 'cause I never knew love like this could exist
[Pre-Chorus]
Tables are turning, my heart is soaring
You'll never let me down
Answer my call, here after all
Never met anyone like you
[Chorus]
Baby, you're so unusual
Didn't anyone tell you you're supposed to
Break my heart, I expect you to
So why haven't you?
Maybe you're not even human 'cause
Only an angel could be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual you
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Can't believe that I almost didn't try
When you called my name
Now everything is changed
[Chorus]
Baby, you're so unusual
Didn't anyone tell you you're supposed to
Break my heart, I expect you to
So why haven't you?
Maybe you're not even human 'cause
Only an angel could be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual you
[Outro]
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)

Yes! Back in 2009, Lady Gaga made a top 5 iTunes Playlist and mentioned her appreciation for “Unusual You”:
This is such a great song, I listened to Circus on the plane, and when I got to this song I stopped, and played it over and over. It’s so beautiful, and so sad, and I love the way it has an eerie sonic quality. As if the music was put into a funhouse mirror. Go girl. Great pop.
