Spit on a Stranger Lyrics
[Verse 1]
However you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits
Whatever you need, however so slight
Whenever it's real, whenever it's right
[Chorus]
I've been thinking long and hard
About the things you said to me
Like a bitter stranger
And now I see the long and short
The middle and what's in between
Well, I could spit on a stranger (Pull me out)
You're a bitter stranger (Pull me out)
[Verse 2]
Whatever you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me
Whatever you need, however so slight
Wherever it leads, whenever it's right
[Chorus]
Honey, I'm a prize and you're a catch
And we're a perfect match
Like two bitter strangers
And now I've seen the long and short of it
And I could make it last
Well, I could spit on a stranger (Pull me out)
You're a bitter stranger (Pull me out)
Well, I could spit on a stranger, pull me out
You're a bitter stranger (Pull me out)
[Outro]
I see the sunshine in your eyes
I'll try the things you'll never try
I'll be the one that leaves you high, high, high
