“Stranger to Love,” the soul singer Charles Perrys' debut single, is a cautionary tale about being too careful in life and ending up being alone in the end.
[Refrain]
Mama told me, "Son, you stay away from danger"
She said, "Hey, you'll be okay if you don't fall"
She said, "Wait until you find yourself an angel
And until then, just be alone"
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm alone, alone
[Chorus]
In this cold, cold, cold, cold world
I'm just a stranger to love
In this cold, cold, cold, cold world
I'm just a stranger to love
I'm just a stranger
[Refrain]
Mama told me, "Son, use your imagination
You can paint the perfect face you're looking for"
She said, "Time ain't something you should be wastin'
'Cause I was young, now I am old"
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm alone, alone
[Chorus]
In this cold, cold, cold, cold world
I'm just a stranger to love
In this cold, cold, cold, cold world
I'm just a stranger to love
I'm just a stranger
[Bridge]
I need somebody to pull me out of this hole
I need somebody to save me from dying alone
So what do you say?
So what do you say?
So what do you say?
So what do you say?
So what do you say?
So what do you say?
So what do you say?
Say, say, what do you say to me?
[Refrain]
Mama told me, "Son, you stay away from danger"
She said, "Hey, you'll be okay if you don't fall"
She said, "Wait until you find yourself an angel
And until then, just be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm still alone, alone
[Chorus]
In this cold, cold, cold, cold world
I'm just a stranger to love
In this cold, cold, cold, cold world
I'm just a stranger to love
I'm just a stranger
[Refrain]
Mama told me, "Son, you stay away from danger"
She said, "hey, you'll be okay if you don't fall"
She said, "Wait until you find yourself an angel
And until then, just be alone"
