Lyrics

Total Stranger

It's funny, with you

I really felt secure

Because I wanted to

Who is zoomin' who

But I really must explain

That I can't hide the pain

When you enjoy yourself

With someone else

But there's one thing

That you should know about me

That I can't stand the lies

That I can't take the infidelity

I know you've been seeing

A total stranger

(A total stranger)

All the love we built

Has been tumbled down

'Cause of a total stranger

A total stranger

I know (I know)

You've been seeing

A total stranger

(A total stranger)

Everything we had

Has been thrown away

'Cause of a total stranger

A total stranger

What's good for you

Is good for me, too

And I've had enough

Of your lying

Enough is enough

I've taken to much

You've made your mistake

Now you're crying

You better beware

When I come to town

I'm gonna paint it so red

You'll think it's burning down

That's how I got my name

(How I got my name)

And some things never change

And so I'm going home

Into the party zone

But there's one thing

You've got to know about me

That I can't stand the lies

That I can't take the infidelity

And I know you've been seeing

A total stranger

(A total stranger)

All the love we built

Has been thrown away

'Cause of a total stranger

A total stranger

I know, I know

You've been seeing

A total stranger

A total stranger

Boom, boom

With a total stranger

A total stranger

What has been done

Should never have been

You were just headed for heartbreak

I won't pretend

That I'll be your friend

You pay for mistakes

Now I know your game

I know what must be done

I'm gonna fan the flame

You will remember my name

Oh baby, I know

You've been seeing

A total stranger

In the boom-boom room

With a total stranger

A total stranger

And all of the time

That you were out all night

Well, I already knew

It was me who's fooling you

And I know you've been seeing

A total stranger

(A total stranger)

All the love we built

Has been thrown away

'Cause of a total stranger

A total stranger

I know, I know

You've been seeing

A total stranger

(A total stranger)

Boom, boom

With a total stranger

A total stranger

I know what you've been doing

With a total stranger

(A total stranger)

Everything we had

Has been thrown away

But it was me who was fooling you

Now, baby, and I know

I'm gonna, I'm gonna fan that flame

Because I'm goin' home

To the party zone

I know, I know, I know, I know

You've been seeing

A total stranger

(A total stranger)

Everything we had

Has been thrown away

And so I'm goin' home

To the party zone

And that's how I got my name

(How I got my name)

I'm gonna fan that flame

(Gonna fan that flame)

I know your game

So I know what must be done

But I was foolin' you
