According to Jessy Lanza in a video for the YouTube Channel Yours Truly: “Strange Emotion is… I think a reflection of feeling lonely and isolated. Which is kind of a reflection of living in Hamilton.

[Verse 1]:
Do you care
To stay at home?
Cause' I don't think
That I can go out there
I've got plans
That I can't stop thinking of
And if you want
Baby come and show your love
[Bridge]:
I feel it, coming, around
Yeah I feel it, coming, so strong
[Chorus]:
Boy you know I feel it like a strange
A stranger, emotion
Boy you make me feel it like a strange
A stranger, emotion
But it feels so unreal
And I don't know if you love for real
Boy you make me feel it like a strange
A strange emotion
[Verse 2]:
It's one o'clock
Baby where you been?
Ooh, cause I don't know
Just how I'm gonna settle in
And one more drag
And then we'll see
[Bridge]:
Baby cause I feel it, coming, around
And baby I feel it, coming, so strong
[Chorus]:
Boy you make me feel such a strange
A stranger, emotion
Boy you make me feel it like a strange
A stranger, emotion
But it feels so unreal
And I don't know if you love for real
Boy you make me feel it like a strange
A strange, a strange, emotion
