The Stranger

(album: Sophisticated Soul - 1968)

Ooh

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 was 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)

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

Burning fire was his kiss
Like a helpless child, now, my heart ran wild
And I could not resist him (I couldn't resist)
I've loved a 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)
He was still a stranger (Stranger)

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

Oh yeah

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

In spite of the danger, I fell in love with a stranger
Ooh, I couldn't resist
