It’s Not Unusual Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry
Oh, I wanna die
[Verse 2]
It's not unusual to go out at any time
But when I see you out and about it's such a crime
If you should ever want to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual
[Bridge]
It happens every day, no matter what you say
You find it happens all the time
Love will never do, what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine?
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3]
It's not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual, to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
It's not unusual to find out I'm in love with you
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry
Oh, I wanna die
[Verse 2]
It's not unusual to go out at any time
But when I see you out and about it's such a crime
If you should ever want to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual
[Bridge]
It happens every day, no matter what you say
You find it happens all the time
Love will never do, what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine?
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3]
It's not unusual, to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual, to be sad with anyone
But if I ever find that you've changed at anytime
It's not unusual to find out I'm in love with you
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
About
Genius Annotation
The classic theme song to the classic Carlton dance.
Actor Alfonso Ribeiro, who portrays Carlton in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, spoke with Variety about the origin of the dance. The scene where it happens, the stage directions just say “Carlton dances”. Ribeiro says “It was never even intended to be funny; it was just that he was dancing.” He took inspiration from Courtney Cox dancing in Bruce Springteen’s Dancing In The Dark music video as well as Eddie Murphy’s “White Man Can’t Dance” joke:
