It's Not Unusual
Written by: Gordon Mills, Les Reed
Comments: Originally written for Sandie Shaw. She rejected it after hearing a demo of the song sung by Tom Jones, recommending that he sing it himself. Jones was earning £5 a song singing demos at the time.

Lyrics:
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, I want to die

It's not unusual to go out at any time
But when I see you out and about it's just a crime
If you should ever want to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual, it happens every day

No matter what you say
You'll find it happens all the time
Love will never do, what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine.

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 any time
It's not unusual, to find that I'm in love with you

Woh, woh, woh, who
