I shouldn't be alone with you tonight Desire was to strong to put up a fight I don't understand the way I feel although it feels so right I really shouldn't be here tonight In your eyes there's a sign of intensity I sense an atmosphere No need to hide from the way that you feel inside There's nothin' left to fear [Chorus:] If only for tonight (don't be a stranger) I want to take this chance risk it all for you Knowing what I'm gonna do If only for tonight (don't be a stranger) I want it all from you tonight Your on my mind all of the time I really shouldn't stay with you tonight But the more and more I think of it The more it just seems right I really shouldn't be here tonight Now I find I don't know who I really am I'm lost without a trace So take me high take me low Anyhow you know And help me if you can [Chorus:] Why I don't know I'm into deep to say no Hold me close don't let me go I want to take this chance Risk it all for you Its what I'm gonna do [Chorus: Repeat 2X]
