Strangers

Kay, My Name Is Kay

About Strangers

"Strangers" (also known as "Stranger") is a song by Canadian singer/songwriter My Name Is Kay featuring guest vocals from American rapper Pusha T. The song was released as the second single from Kay's self-titled debut EP, although she does not consider the track, or previous single "My Name Is Kay", as singles, but simply refers to them as "songs". Kay explained that the meaning of the song is that feeling when "your boyfriend only loves you when you're alone", and lyrically the song talks about Kay's character going to a party, and being treated like a "stranger" by her love interest. Inspiration for the song also came to her from watching re-runs of the late '80s, early '90s sitcom Perfect Strangers, featuring the characters Balki and Larry. She says: "Ryan and I were looking at pictures of them and I was saying how one of them looks like my dad. Then we started writing this hook, this kind of old school 'na na hooo.' It just came to us: 'Let's write it about perfect strangers.'"

Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
So that's how you fell A stranger ha

Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
All you do is complain

I buy you this, I take you there, now you wanna act like it ain't fair,
Find a new love guess it ain't rare, You can be replaced 'case you ain't clear
Yup, OK player, look to my side and you ain't there
Too little time and you ain't share, end of the road and you ain't there

You hit my cell on Friday, come pick you up outta your place
You tell me I look beautiful, baby that's so unusual
But then we get to the party, you act like you don't even know me
You laughin' it up, you takin' shots, so drunk you forgot about the girl you brought

You're a fool, you're a damn fool and it's all you'll ever be
So get a clue, get a damn clue
You'll never find another me

Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger

Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger

I can't believe how you do me, actin' like you never knew me
I let your love run through me, I feel just like a groupie, Charlie's hooptie
Perfect strangers, serving goodbyes like a waiter
I'll pack my bags alligator, I hit the road like a stone and roll see ya later
You're a fool, you're a damn fool, all that's all you'll ever be

You're a fool, you're a damn fool and it's all you'll ever be
So get a clue, get a damn clue
You'll never find another me

Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger

Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger

Thought that life you was made for, they say you get what you pay for
Want no stress so I paid more, now you wanna talk while I game on
I play on, baller-like, goya bags lu vuitton and spikes
Take no bags when I board the flight, where I land I'ma score tonight
Let pour tonight ciroc and lime, now we both stuck like a porcupine
Let's get lost so we hard to find, push it to the limit like borderline

Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger

Na na ooh
Don't treat me like a stranger
Don't treat me like a stranger
