[Verse 1]
I have seen people run after a rainbow
But I've only seen a few that ever caught one
I've seen them run so slow they
Gave up, broke down, went out and bought one
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, sometimes it turns out to be nothing
And sometimes it's way more than you bargained for
[Chorus]
Don't look now
But there's a stranger staring back in the mirror
Don't look now
But he looks real familiar
[Verse 2]
A dear friend of mine ran up to me and hollered
Hey, ol' bud, I've got some good news and bad
You know the song we wrotе was a hit but
Your name isn't on it
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it turns out to bе nothing
And sometimes it's way more than you bargained for
[Chorus]
Don't look now
But there's a stranger staring back in the mirror
Don't look now
But he looks real familiar
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
I was standing next to a bottle
It disappeared and the pain went away
If I could find you, I would remind you
'Cause I'm trying to forget you
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it turns out to be nothing
And sometimes it's way more than you bargained for
[Chorus]
Don't look now
But there's a stranger staring back in the mirror
Don't look now
God knows he looks real familiar
[Outro]
Yeah, he looks real familiar
He looks real familiar
Yeah
