Love Is a Stranger Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love is a stranger in an open car
To tempt you in and drive you far away
Love is a stranger in an open car
To tempt you in and drive you far away

[Chorus]
And I want you, and I want you
And I want you, and I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

[Verse 2]
Love is a danger of a different kind
To take you away and leave you far behind, -hind
And love love love is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it and you still can't get enough of the stuff

[Chorus]
And I want you, and I want you
And I want you, and I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

[Bridge]
It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction
Comes on like a flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
It wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie
[Chorus]
And I want you, and I want you
And I want you, and I want you

[Verse 3]
It's guilt edged, glamorous, and sleek by design
Jealous by nature, false and unkind
It's hard and restrained and it's totally cool
It touches and it teases as you stumble in the debris

[Outro]
And I want you, and I want you
And I want you, and I want you
And I want you, and I want you
And I want you, and I want you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
