Lyrics

Stranger

[Verse 1]

Hey pretty baby, why am I feeling so despised (despised)

I lay down to rest but my eyes are open wide (wide)

Jealousy’s so strong, gunna take me to my grave

Gunna keep on holding off and going to turn you into a slave (slave)

And now you gotta stop

[Chorus]

Looking for a stranger (stranger), looking for me

Looking for a stranger (stranger), looking for me (me-me-me-me-me)

Looking for a stranger (stranger), looking for me

Looking for a stranger (stranger), looking for me

[Verse 2]

Your nose is like a tower, like the one in Lebanon (Lebanon)

Your breath smells like some flowers

65 queens and lady concubine (concubine)

Gotta keep you hanging around cause you gotta help drink my wine (wine)

And now you gotta stop

[Chorus]

Looking for a stranger (stranger), looking for me

Looking for a stranger (stranger), looking for me (me-me-me-me-me)

Looking for a stranger (stranger), looking for me

Looking for a stranger (stranger), looking for me
