Beautiful stranger You come here quite often I don't know your name But I know what you drink You got a secret But it's one you can't keep Oh, beautiful stranger You're an angel to me So if you're feeling lonely Come sit next to me We'll find a slow song To dance to, and strangers No longer we'll be Beautiful stranger So lovely tonight Could it be my future That I see in your eyes Take me to heaven And do as you please Oh, beautiful stranger You're an angel to me Beautiful stranger You come here quite often I don't know your name But I know what you drink You got a secret But it's one you can't keep Oh, beautiful stranger You are like an angel to me Beautiful stranger You are like an angel to me

You give in and the night begins with the red wine kiss I whisper something crazy about your shoes You hush me and you crush me with your fingertips It's been awhile since I've seen this side of you Beautiful stranger In the candle light God must have told you that I needed this tonight I've longed for this feeling alone here in the dark With a beautiful stranger in my arms There a window moon and and old love tune playing soft and low Takes me back, I've always loved that song I pull you in and there's comfort in the shape we make Wrapped up in each other all night long Beautiful stranger In the candle light God must have told you that I needed this tonight I've longed for this feeling alone here in the dark With a beautiful stranger in my arms And we danced and danced like we just met Girl we made love like we haven't yet Yet Beautiful stranger In the candle light God must have told you that I needed this tonight I've longed for this feeling alone here in the dark With a beautiful stranger, a beautiful stranger A beautiful stranger in my Arms

Your eyes, so crisp, so green Sour apple baby, but you taste so sweet You got hips like Jagger and two left feet And I wonder if you'd like to meet Your voice is velvet through a telephone You can come to mine, but both my roommates are home Think I know a bar where they would leave us alone And I wonder if you'd take it slow Oh, we're dancin' in my livin' room And up come my fists And I say I'm only playing, but The truth is this That I've never seen a mouth that I would kill to kiss And I'm terrified, but I can't resist And I said Beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms and I know That beautiful strangers only come along to do me wrong And I hope Beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms But I think it's finally, finally, finally, finally, finally safe For me to fall Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh I grab your hand and then we run to the car Singin' in the street and playin' air guitar Stuck between my teeth just like a candy bar And I wonder if it goes too far to say I've never recognized a purer face You stopped me in my tracks and put me right in my place Used to think that lovin' meant a painful chase But you're right here now and I think you'll stay Oh, we're dancin' in my livin' room And up come my fists And I say, I'm only playing, but The truth is this I've never seen a mouth that I would kill to kiss And I'm terrified, but the truth is this I said Beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms and I know That beautiful strangers only come along to do me wrong And I hope Beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms And I think it's finally, finally, finally, finally, finally safe For me to fall Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Yeah, I think it's finally, finally, finally, finally

Should have figured that you'd go back to New York Don't consider me when you run back to her You don't have to hide it, I know why you wait Said you needed space, I know better than that Mm-mm Could have fought for you, but I just let you leave Hurt too much to consider you didn't love me The mountains of Valais will weep through the night Driving down sunset's a terrible sight Mm-mm Left me and the ocean for your old flame Holding back my tears, I couldn't make you stay Can't quit this So damn wicked To leave California and me I imagine you holding her in your arms Laughing 'bout how I thought that you were the one I get so anxious and maybe I'm young The first sign of trouble and I bite my tongue Mm-mm Left me and the ocean for your old flame Holding back my tears, I couldn't make you stay Can't quit this So damn wicked To leave California and me

Will you let me come closer to you? I know that you're older, but what can I do? I leave in the morning, I'll forget that I am surely falling (ah-ah) Grew up in a case of fragile glass But hammer away, it's time to crash And as it shatters, let me shatter into you The soft candle glow The music so slow Your skin on my skin The room is spinning Nerve on my bone I'm shaking, oh, no I'm talking though, I shouldn't be I've lost all sensibility Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I've never been so fragile Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ha-ah-ah It's been a year and 40 days Since you picked me up and swept me away I wanted to run with you into the midnight sun with you Now I sit around and rust in rain Turn into dust as I just wait For someone to hold me like you did that night, I still remember The soft candle glow The music so slow Your skin on my skin The room kept spinning 'Round, I'm alone New town, on my own I'm missing you, I shouldn't be I've lost all sensibility Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I've never been so fragile Fragile

I made a promise To distance myself Took a flight, through aurora skies Honestly, I didn't think about How we didn't say goodbye Just, "See you very soon" It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing With you So I didn't call you For 16 long days And I should get a cigarette For so much restraint No matter how long I resist temptation I will always lose It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing With you I've done the math, there's no solution We'll never last Why can't I let go of this? So I broke my promise I called you last night I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have If it weren't for the sight of a boy Who looked just like you Standing out on Melrose Avenue It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing With you It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing With you

One more kiss, wine stained lips I don't want to go to sleep yet Pale moonlight, misty eyes I'll allow myself to have him just tonight I hold on to every ounce of sin I know he don't love me quite like I love him I swear to myself as he leaves at dawn This will end 'til he haunts me again, mm... Rose perfume, low-lit room I'll pretend you'll stay forever Lay me down, ghostly sounds Haunt the hallways as he wraps me around And I hold on to every ounce of sin I know he don't love me quite like I love him I swear to myself as he leaves at dawn This will end, 'til he haunts me again

I won't pretend, I've been desolate I won't pretend, I've been blue It happened so quickly, one second it hit me I've fallen quite hard over you I won't pretend, I've been anxious Just like I've always been This time, it's sticking And time just stops ticking When I have my arms around you Four-leaf clovers and lucky dimes Coincidences and cosmic signs Have proved that I am quite naïve I'm falling fast, failing gravity And all that I see is serendipity Ran into you on the corner Of Ninety and Central Park West Oh, how it thrilled me, I thank the big city And, this, I will rarely confess In years when we're losing our memory The world's taken leaps over time I hope that you'll look at me like I'm still twenty-three Hope that you still be mine Four-leaf clovers and lucky dimes Coincidences and cosmic signs Have proved that I am quite naïve I'm falling fast, failing gravity I swear that, this time, it's serendipity Serendipity Serendipity

It always goes like this Could've predicted it I'm so naive to think you loved me for me Kissed as I ran off-stage Too old to play this game Guess you're still growing up at 30 Oh-oh Were you surprised by me when you took me home? When the glamour wore off Reduced to skin and bone I can't even tell who you want to know I'm a goddess on stage Human when we're alone You took a star to bed Woke up with me instead You must have felt so damn deceived When you made up a version of me that you thought you'd love But I am not your Aphrodite Oh-oh Were you surprised by me when you took me home? When the glamour wore off Reduced to skin and bone I can't even tell who you want to know I'm a goddess on stage Human when we're alone You took me for a fool You stole my youth You wanted this so much You watched me rise then killed my light And now you know I'm not your fucking goddess Ooh, oh I'm no goddess when I'm alone
