perfect stranger - i am a stranger here myself
Tonight we crossed the borderline into a world thatæ?¯ new
And we donæ?° know what we might find waiting for me and you
Your wanting me to lead the way as you hold on to my hand
Well this is all so new to me but Iæ?£l do the best I can
Iæ?¦ a stranger here myself and I donæ?° know my way around
As far as Iæ?¦ concerned this is all uncharted ground
Iæ?¦ feeling something new that Iæ?³e never felt
Iæ?³e never been in love Iæ?¦ a stranger here myself
Iæ?¦ glad itæ?¯ you thatæ?¯ here with me in this strange new place
And you feel the same way too I see it all in your face
Itæ?¯ hard for us to catch our breath as wonder fills our eyes
The longer that weæ?®e here the more this feels like paradise
Iæ?¦ a stranger here myself and I donæ?° know my way around
As far as Iæ?¦ concerned this is all uncharted ground
Iæ?¦ feeling something new that Iæ?³e never felt
Iæ?³e never been in love Iæ?¦ a stranger here myself
perfect stranger - fire when ready
Does it bother you to have my feet on your desk
Please take it as a sign of no respect
Your office was open, thought we'd have a little talk
Here's something you can stuff in your suggestion box
(Chorus): You're a bonehead jerk, yeah, I said it
I'd been doing all the work
You've been taking all the credit
Shooting me down, riding me steady
Come on, boss, fire when ready
I know you can't let me go without due cause
And I wouldn't wanna see you breaking any laws
I could lay down on the job when I'm not home sick
But the more I think about it, this oughta do the trick
Chorus
I could've given you notice, sent you a memo
Or written you a resignation letter
Saying I quit, I've had it, that's it
But this just feels so much better

perfect stranger - remember the ride
He spent his days with horses
And his nights with Rosalee
He spent his pay on whiskey
That was made in Tennessee
As I was growing up
He spent a lot of time with me
When I'd ask him about women
He'd just grin
He said son I know horses
Like the back of my hand
He said some were born to run
Some will stomp you just for fun
And some have got the devil in their eyes
There's some that you can trust
Some will leave you in the dust
And the wild ones will shake you up inside
But you'll always remember the ride
Like him I rode some horses
Some were fast and some were slow
I've known my share of women
I've seen 'em come
I've seen 'em go
The horses I could handle
But the women got me thrown
Now I smile when I remember that old man
Because he knew more than horses
Like the back of his hand
He said some were born to run
Some will stomp you just for fun
And some have got the devil in their eyes
There's some that you can trust
Some will leave you in the dust
And the wild ones will shake you up inside
But you'll always remember the ride
He said some were born to run
Some will stomp you just for fun
And some have got the devil in their eyes
There's some that you can trust
Some will leave you in the dust
And the wild ones will shake you up inside
But you'll always remember the ride
Yeah you'll always remember the ride
perfect stranger - you have the right to remain silent
Can I have this dance, My you're looking pretty,
Is There something wrong, Did he leave you hurting,
I don't mean to pry, but that tear in your eye gave you away
If you don't want to talk we'll keep in quiet,
But sometimes a heartache hurts worse if you hide it,
I think there's a chance, one slow dance might ease the pain.
You have the right to remain silent,
Anything that you say as I hold you against me,
Will forever be a secret between us two.
I've been wanting you but you didn't know it,
And now that he's gone, at last I can show it.
If your heart is tired, for the rest of your life
Lay your love on me.
So many times my eyes have held you,
Tonight please give my heart that chance.
If you don't feel the need for conversation,
We'll just let our hearts talk while we dance
You have the right to remain silent,
Anything that you say as I hold you against me,
Will forever be a secret between us two.
I've been wanting you but you didn't know it,
And now that he's gone, at last I can show it.
If your heart is tired, for the rest of your life
Lay your love on me.
If your heart is tired, for the rest of your life
Lay your love on me
perfect stranger - who are you
(Bobby Carmichael/Gary Cotton/Cindy Greene)
(Track 7 - Time 3:07)
You look just like her
But you don't fool me
'Cause I know her sweet love
Was more than a dream
How did I miss it when you took her place
There's not a trace of her love on your face
So please tell me who are you
And where is the girl I knew
She said her love was true
You're breaking my heart
Something she'd never do
Who are you
Go back where you came from
And send her back here
Use the same magic
That made her disappear
I want the girl who thought I hung the moon
The last thing I want is some stranger saying we're through
So please tell me who are you
And where is the girl I knew
She said her love was true
You're saying goodbye
Something she'd never do
Who are you
Where is the girl I knew
You're breaking my heart
Something she'd never do
Who are you
perfect stranger - one more repossession
I told my boss where to get off two months ago today
Now the bills are pilling high and they're hauling things away
They took the living room sofa the kool-aid stains and all
Now my butts down on a hardwood floor and my back's against the wall
One more repossession and I'll be out of debt
But what good is a VCR without a TV set
It's less and less depressing before they come again
One more repossession and I'll be out of debt
Last night I turned in early 'cause they turned off lights
The repo man took my truck in the middle of the night
Things are gone to pieces you know the times are hard
When you have to use your Visa just to pay your Mastercard
One more repossession and I'll be out of debt
But what good is a VCR without a TV set
It's less and less depressing before they come again
One more repossession and I'll be out of debt
It's getting less and less depressing before they come again
One more repossession and I'll be out of debt
Yeah one more repossession and I'll be out of debt
