Haven't we met? Some kind of beautiful stranger You could be good for me I've had the taste for danger If I'm smart then I'll run away But I'm not so I guess I'll stay Heaven forbid I'll take my chance on a beautiful stranger I looked into your eyes And my world came tumbling down You're the devil in disguise That's why I'm singing this song To know you Is to love you You're everywhere I go And everybody knows To love you Is to be part of you I paid for you with my tears And swallowed my pride Beautiful stranger Beautiful stranger If I'm smart then I'll run away But I'm not so I guess I'll stay Haven't you heard? I fell in love with a beautiful stranger I looked into your face My heart was dancing all over the place I'd like to change my point of view If I could just forget about you To know you Is to love you You're everywhere I go And everybody knows I looked into your eyes And my world came tumbling down You're the devil in disguise That's why I'm singing this song to you To know you Is to love you You're everywhere I go And everybody knows I paid for you with my tears And swallowed my pride Beautiful stranger Beautiful stranger
