The Stranger

[Verse 1]
Dark as the night were his eyes
And with just one look I realised
He was a new boy (New boy)
He was a stranger (Stranger)

He looked young like a kid, having fun
But the fire in his eyes said he wasn't afraid of anyone (Anyone)
Though he was a stranger (Stranger)

[Chorus]
He was tall and wild (Tall and wild)
Handsome as he could be, yes he was
And with just one smile, he stole my heart (Just one smile)
Became a part of me
And in spite of the danger, I fell in love with a stranger

[Verse 2]
Burning fire was his kiss
Like a helpless child, my heart went wild
I knew I could not resist him (I couldn't resist)
The stranger, ooh (Stranger)

Like the night fades away into dawn
When I opened my eyes, he had vanished and gone
Like a ghost in the night (Ghost in the night)
Just a stranger (Stranger)
[Chorus]
He was tall and wild (Tall and wild)
Handsome as he could be
And with just one smile, he stole my heart (Just one smile)
Became a part of me (Ooh)
And in spite of the danger, I fell in love with a stranger

[Bridge]
(Spite of the danger
She fell in love with a stranger)

[Chorus]
Oh oh oh, he was tall and wild (Tall and wild)
Just as handsome as he could be
Don't you know with just one smile, oh, he stole my heart (Just one smile)
Became a part of me (Ooh)
And in spite of the danger, I fell in love with a stranger

[Outro]
(In spite of the danger)
I couldn't resist him
(She fell in love with a stranger, ooh)
Had to kiss him
(In spite of the danger)
Not in the dawn
(She fell in love with a stranger, ooh)
Vanished in
(In spite of the danger)
In spite of the danger
(She fell in love with a stranger, ooh)
I fell in love with a stranger
(In spite of the danger)
Oh yeah, in spite of the danger
(She fell in love with a stranger, ooh)
Don't you know I fell in love with a stranger
(In spite of the danger)
Oh yeah, in spite of the danger
(She fell in love with a stranger, ooh)
I fell in love with a stranger
