🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I should've known it was strange
  • You only come out at night
  • I used to think I was smart
  • But you made me look so naive

Echo the hook

  • I've made some real big mistakes
  • But you make the worst one look fine
  • I should've known it was strange
  • You only come out at night
