I've had the idea for this song since, oh ... at least a dozen years ago when our friend Kristie seemed concerned she and her husband had revealed a little to much of the silly talk couples have ... typically between themselves. She told him, "Shhhh! He'll see the strangeness."

I told her, "Kristie, if you weren't a little weird, I'd think you were a little weird."

That's all I had for years. A couple of years ago the chorus came to me, but I could never get anywhere on the verses. Until yesterday morning. Bam! Done. Here it is.

[Remixed 04-20-2018]

Mixed in Reaper. Just me on vocals, and :

Weird
Phil Leith 2018

I caught your furtive glance
I recognized the inner fear
You thought there might be a chance
That you'd said or done somethin' queer
Well I think you oughtta know
Nobody got no room to sneer
'Cause if you weren't a little weird
I'd think you were a little weird

If you weren't a little weird
I'd think you were a little weird
I say you'd have to be a fraud
Not to be a little odd
Wouldn't it be some kinda strange
If everybody was the same?
If you weren't a little weird
Well that'd be just a little weird

Ain't no need for you to hide
'Cause everybody is your peer
You might think that you're peculiar
You got nothin'on anybody here
I'm tellin' you it's alright
I'm being nothin' but sincere
If you weren't a little weird
I'd think you were a little weird
