Lyrics
Perfect Stranger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hell I gave up my time
For a no good affair
You'd think I'd learned by now
To be taken in
By a perfect stranger
Would that I had the know how
Still more fool me
For kidding myself
That's the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same space
Or would I feel that I talked myself into a corner
So long you're no friend of mine
You're false and unkind
You're indestructible
No place I'd rather be
Than in the ring with you
We'd go twenty rounds
Still more fool me
For killing myself
That's the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same space
Or would I feel that I talked myself into a corner
I see the sky move above me
But I just can't take control
What a sweet sensation
Love sweet sweet love
Oh I feel so bad
