Lyrics

1. LOOKING FOR A STRANGER

I've had it with the same old routine
I've had it with the same old faces, places,
Every night in my life
I started feeling washed up, washed out, hung up,
Wrung out, left to dry
Every night
But

I know, yeah I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight

I'm tired of the same old "Hello baby,
How you're doin', call me often
Where have you been all my life", every night
But I know that someday, somewhere,
I'll turn around and you'll be there
Ooh in my life, every night
And

I know, yeah I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight
And

I know, yeah I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight
I'm looking for a stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight


2. I'LL DO IT

Well the unseen sights look good to you
I notice how you survey the room
Awkward conversation and you're too polite
You know that's always a clue
I'm wasting my time tryin' to tell ya'
That you're making the mistake of your life
Cause you're so sure that you need to go
At any cost, at any price

But, I'll do it
I'll send you out on your own, with no guarantee
I'll do it
But when you wanna come home and you look for love
Don't look for me!

Tell me, when did everything start to go wrong?
And why was I the last one to know?
You're so good at hidin' your feelings
I'm so good at lettin' mine show

Well I know how great it feels together
But that just isn't enough
Cause I need more than your bedside manner
I need someone to love

So, I'll do it
I guess there's nothin' to say, its all been said
I'll do it
Make sure you want it this way, '
Cause when it's done this time
I'll be gone

I'll do it
I'll send you out on your own, with no guarantee
I'll do it
But when you wanna come home and you look for love
Don't look for me!

I'll do it
I'll do it
I'll do it
I'll do it
I'll do it
